RAYMOND K. DODGE.

Pinter ed according to Act of Corgressin the year 1891, by

PREFACE. 

The Republican Reference Book for 1891 is designed to supply in a convenient 
form Information useful to voters, relating directly to the pending election, and 
also to other political contests with which comparison Is desirable, The value 

Of the work will not end with the selection of local officials to DC 

ohosen tills year, for ii contains tables of public statistics and accounts of pi 
inentmen who have served the people, presented in a novel form, irhich will be 

useful for reference for many years to com.-. 

The returns of voting are, taken from official records and are absolutely ac- 
curate. In this respect the work has rer Hf annals hastily 
compiled, shortly after election, for sale at the opening ol tar, in 
which errors of importance are seldom, if ever, avoided. It is confident! 
lieved that no previously published digest of political matters in New York can 
rival this book in variety, exactness end fullness compiled in a clear 
aud condensed form. 

The aim of the author is to put before ti.e Republican elector all that he may 
desire to know, so that he may find it easily and understand it at a glance, with- 
out burdening the Manual or confusing the reader with superfluous statements 
or opinions. 

The principles, objects and personnel of the Republican State Can paign are 
set forth tersely but comprehensively in a narrative of the proceedings of the 
Rochester Convention, its platform, sketches of its candidates, and the rolls of 
the patty's national, state and local committee-; and tbeir officers. These records 
have been gathered from authoritative sources and carefully compared BO as to 
exclude all possibility of error. As much space .is practicable is devoted to the 
illustrious career of the Republican Standard-Bearer, Jacob Sloat Fassett, as a 
Senator of the State, and this is accompanied by a full report of the already 
famous speech with which the ring-breaker opened the campaign in the city of 
New York, the citadel of the enemies of Fassett and Good Government. There 
are likewise in the necessarily brief accounts of the lives of the experienced 
and devoted John W, Vrooman, and those of Eugene F. O'Connor, Arthur C. 
Wade, William A. Sutherland. Ira M. Hedges, and Verplanck Colvin, Fassett's 
worthy associates as State nominees, many additional facts and arguments 
which will bo serviceable in this great fight of the People against The Rings.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. 



The Republican State Convent ion met at Bocheetei ober 9th, 1891, 

pursuant to the call issued by the State Committee of which General John M. 
Knapp, of Auburn, was chairman. Waahington lank, the Convention Hall, 
was beautifully decorated ^v 1 1 1 i patriotic emblem _:ates 

assembled and the galleries were filled with an intelligent audience including 
many ladies, was inspiriting. General Knapp opened the Convention in a brief 
but forcible addi ess. In his introduction he alluded to the "match! 
man from Maine." Then Convention and audience sprang to their feel 
there ensued enthusiasm that would not be suppressed, seldom sq 
never excelled at a public gathering in this State. When thii 
had been paid to the great Republican lead r, Jl . tl Knapp 

announced William \V . Goodrich, of Brooklyn, an of the 

Convention by choice of the State Committee. >hepard, oi 

New York, and Ex-Congressman John II. Camp, of 

ignated to escort Mr. Goodrich to tin* chair The Chairman then 

delivered the following address 

Fellow Republicans:— Three years ag most honor* <l 

citizen of Brooklyn presided at toe State Convention. President Han. 
majority that year was 1.1.000. It is a good omen that our County i- 
honored, in thepeison of one of its humbler citizens. The City will i 
no doubtful language. She will elect a Republic x and reduce the Demo- 

cratic majority on the State ticket so greatly, that if the country does its duty 
equally, our candidate for Governor will execute the just laws and carry out the 
will ot a Republican Legislature. 

Proudof its history, faithful to its pledges, glorying in its traditions, united 
and harmonious, the Republican party i submits its record to the 

people of this State. Its policy has never wavered. It has not gret, 

nothing to reconsider ond nothing to recall. 

During the 81 years of its existence it has controlled the national government 
for 27 years. Iu 1861 it gained its first victory, elected Lincoln President and 
assumed the control of tlie government. It found a national t'easury depleted, 
a navy dispersed to the ends of the earth, an army sa all and scattered, and 
national fortifications already assailed by the armed South. 

It quietly went on with the functions of government, took unflinching position 
for the preservation of the Union, raised the greatest ar.nv of modem times, 
conducted the greatest of modern wars, preserved public c edit, made the Nation 
free iu fact as well as name, created unexampled prosperity among our citizens, 
whose numbers have doubled since its rise to power, and it stands to-day at the 
head of the most powerful and respected of all the nations of the world. 

For the period of four years the Democratic party obtained possession of two 
branches ot the national government, but the fact that the third branch was 
Republican prevented serious harm. So manifest, however, was its trend and 
purpose, that four years was enough to convince toe people of the duty of re- 
calling the partial power conferredupon a party which had been on the wrong 
side of every political quesh. n since the days when it championed the extension 
of human slavery into the free territories of the Northwest. At the last election, 
however, it again obtained a majority in the lower house of Congress. This 
was accomplished by a campaign of colossal lying, by successful misrepresen- 
tation of political questions. By a conspiracy among traders to secure higher 
prices in fear of high r duties, by frightening the timid voter, by deceiving the 
credulous voter, by seeming the venal voter and by the apathy of Republican 
voters (that most insidious and dangerous ally cf the enemy). 

We point with pride to the pure, sagacious and conservative administration 
of President Harrison as justifying the enthusiasm with which his nomination 



8 The Republican Reference Book. 

was received; to the growing commerce of the country under reciprocity with 
our American neighbors induced b.y the matchless foresight of Secretary Blaine, 
and to a navy already ranking with those of the other great maritime powers of 
(he world. 

"We rest with Speaker Reed upon his announcement, that hereafter obstruction 
of legislation for obstruction's sake shall not defeat the transaction of public 
business, and that the duty of a legislative body is to legislate. 

The Republican party, which, in a time of national disorder, raised four bil- 
lions of dollars in its efforts to save the unity and integrity of the Nation, has not 
hesitated in a time of profound peace, increasing population and national pros- 
perity, to raise a single billion to extend internal improvements, pay the soldier's 
justly-earned pensions and preserve the public credit, and it will do so despite 
the yelping hounds that bark and snap at its heels as it pursues the even tenor 
of its way to victory. 

It is far easier to criticise than to construct. If our opponents will cease to 
deal in glittering generalities, put themselves on the record and indicate the 
specific appropriations of the last Congress which they condemn, we shall be 
prepared to meet and answer criticism and objection. 

LABOR REWARDING TARIFF. 

The underlying theory of the recent tariff legislation was to put on the free 
list such articles as are not extensively produced in this country, and so to ad- 
just duties that new industries might be created and fostered, until competition 
among our home manufacturers should reduce, as it always has done, the price 
of goods to the consumer. On this basis we have protected the industries of the 
country and the interests of the laboring man against foreign and domestic 
enemies and we submit the recent tariff legislation to public scrutiny, not in 
specially selected items, but in its aggregate results, all of which may be judged 
by newly planted manufactories, increasing products and lessening prices. 

Under the old tariff, for ten months previous to July 31, 1891, only thirty -four 
per cent of imported goods were free of duty. Since April 1, 1891, free goods 
have reached fifty-six percent, of the gross imports, while in the ten months that 
the new tariff has been in operation the aggregate imports have increased about 
$21, 000,000, and the exports $32,500,000 whilemost of the articles in common use, 
farm produce excepted, are lower in price than they were a year ago. Nor must 
we forget that the national debt has been reduced from $60per capita of popu- 
lation in 1870, to $12.87 in 1891, and the customs revenue from $4.96 per capita to 
$2.59 during the same period. 

It rests with the Republican party to maintain what it has alreadv acquired 
in tariff legislation against the assaults of the Democratic party, i'he Repub- 
lican Mother who conceived and brought forth, in travail and tribulation, her 
twin offspring of Protection and Civil Service Reform, who nurtured them at her 
bosom and watched over their childhood and youth, is a safer guardian of their 
future than any Democratic foster-mother or hireling stranger. The recent 
tariff legislation and the application of the principle of Civil Service Reform to 
the Navy Yards, shows that the Administration takes no steps backwards. 

The Republican party has always been the friend of the laborer. It was the 
champion of the slave and freed him. It is the friend of the wage-earner and it 
will protect his interests. It seeks alliance with the working man who has 
been alternately cajoled and cheated by the Democracy. Successive Republican 
Legislatures adopted the Australian ballot-system, only to meet the repeated 
veto of Governor Hill, and we are only awaiting the coming victory in the State, 
when, with a Republican Governor, and a majority in both branches of the Leg- 
islature we will pass the law in its original simplicity. 

AN HONEST DOLLAR. 

The Democratic party of the East, with a caution bred in its consciousness of 
diverse views on Silver coinage among its members throughout the country, 
pronounces tor international bi-metalfism. That involves the agreement of 
England with all India behind her, France, Russia, Germany, Austria, Spain, 
Italy, with the possibility of China. The impracticability of such a union 
does not deter Democratic imaginations. Anything not to pronounce for honest 
money. 

The Republican party always rises to its highest flight and surest victory 
when a moral principle underlies a conflict. That contest is here. We leave to 
the future what the future may bring forth. For the present, we see a great 
danger, the danger of a depreciated and dishonored currency. Men in business 
are making contracts payable in gold. It is our privilege and our duty to pre- 
vent that danger or even a threat of it. Let us take our stand right here ; an 
honest dollar for an honest debt. \V hither bi-metallism may come or may not, 





H* WF» 



Tm: Republican Reference Book. <j 

the value of a dollar must be a dollar, not only in the United States, but in every 
market in the world. 

The Republican party has always demanded and produced honest mosey to 
pay its honest debts.* Gold is the recognized standard of ttie world. Yv'e'ap- 
pJaud the courageous utterances of President iiurrisou iu his lecent bpeech 
at A Ibany : 

" I am one of those who believe that these men from our shops, these farmers 
remote from money centres, hftVe the lar^e-t interest of all people in the world, 
in having a dollar that is worth one hundred cents every day in the year and 
only such. If by any chance we should fall into a condition where one dollar is 
not as good as another, I venture the assertion that thai poorer dollar will do 
its first errand in paying some laborer for his work. Therefore, in the conduct 
of our public affairs, I feel pledged, for one, th.<r a,l the f nil nonces of the govern- 
ment should be on the side oigiviug the people only good money and ju>t as 
much of that kind as we can ^ r ct. 

"I do believe that the general govei solemnly charged with the duty 

of seeing that the money issued l>\ it isalways and everywhere maintained at 
par. Every dollar, whether paper or coin issued or stumped b> the general 
government, should always and everywhere be a> ier dollar.'' 

REPUBLICANISM AND PROSPERITY. 

The Republican party has succeeded when the country was prosperous. It 
has never risen to power on prostrated business nor mad compatible 

with the destruction of American Industries. It has never rejoiced in public 
calamity which should open the doors of oppoitunity for its retui n to power. 

The Democratic party lias alwa I fattened on national disaster and is even 
now watching and waiting for a lailure i»f the crops, the embarrassment of 
manufacturing indusl riea or the impaiiinenl of public cred it. that over the ruins 
it may wrench the Sceptic of Rovereiguty from the Republican party; hut 
Providence smiles in the lipening fields of an abuncant harvest and the tanner 
abandons all alliances artfully promoted and encouraged by the manages of the 
Democratic party. 

"We have reached the flood tide of exported produce and ; of return- 

ing gold will soon be full to its banks. 

I have no intention of waving the bloody shirt in politics, but [cannot help 
recalling the recent utterance of a uiostdifttinguished leader in his recent Fourth 
of J uly speech at Oswego, when he sjid: "With the broadest exercise of 
Christian Charity let us not foravt that in the contest of the past there was a 
wrong side and there was a right side," and i<> add that the .Republican party 
has never been on the wrong side of any political question, j.oi ever represented 
a wrong to any class, race or condition ot men. 

REPUBLICANS REDUCED STATE TAXES 

The reduced taxation of the State is due solely to the affirmative legislation 
proposed by Republicans and pas ed by Republican Legislatures. Among other 
things, our party framed and passed the law taxing manufacturing and all other 
corporations, and the laws taxing collateral and direct inheritances, and although 
there have been increased State expenditures, and in spite of Democratic oppo- 
sition, it has created a policy which has made th;> present Bints tax rate lower 
than it has been for 30 years, and which, if pursued, promise* to extinguish all 
other methods of State taxation. In all this the Democratic party had neither 
part nor lot, and yet claims the entire credit. 

We demand such legislation in the line of Municipal Reform as that there 
shall be but one system for all cities throughout the State, with which there 
shall be no tinkering at the beck and behest of political bosses designed to se- 
cure to political rings peculiar opportunities for public plunder in municipalities 
whish they control. 

We have always stood for free schools, a free ballot-box and a free vote, 
North aud South, without intimidation, and with that and that only shall we be 
satisfied. 

This is to be a campaign of education and not of deception. The Republican 
party never fears investigation of its principles or its practices. It seeks clear 
light. The more it is studied, the more its platforms arc criticised and chal- 
lenged, the better are its chances of success. The Republican League has this 
end in view, and it works iu harmony with the State and county organi- 
zations. 

The Democratic party is like the lizard which Stanley saw in the African 
forests, changing color according to its environmeuts. At the South it stands 
for Prohibition ; in the North, tor free rum. On the Pacific Coast and the Moun- 
tains it demands free coinage of silver. In the Ohio convention it adopted a free

coinage plank by a bare majority and placed a hard-money man upon it, and at 
the East it demands gold and silver coinage on an equal basis. 

A Republican victory in this State at this election will secure the State for 
the party in the Presidential campaign, and will insure the election of the next 
President. 

hill's shameful attitude. 

We sorrowfully behold the Governor of this great State as he stands, strident 
like a modern Colossus, one foot in the Executive Chamber at Albany, and the 
other in the Senate Chamber at Washington, his hands grasping the lev^er of 
the Democratic machine which he controls by filling the public offices with his 
subservient tools, his eyes greedily fixed on the Presidential chair in which he 
will never sit; his highest flight of oratory " I am a Democrat;" pandering to 
the liquor interest, playing with the question of honest money, cheating the 
lahoring men by defeating for years the Australian ballot system, on which their 
protection depends, until he could emasculate it with a paster; giving the people 
mere husks instead of the corn of the actual system ; defeating ail attempts at 
enumeration; obstructing the entire legislation of the State to prevent an in- 
vestigation of his partisan water-rats in the canal ; rising to no higher level than 
a ward politician, the very ripest and latest efflorescence of Democracy. Verily, 
the coming contest is that of Hillism grafted on Tammanyism against the 
political conscience of the voters of thisCommcnwealth, and on such an issue we 
shall suffer no defeat. 

During the morning session the committees on resolutions, credentials and 
permanent organization were appointed, with SerenoE. Payne, J. Ryder Cady 
and James W. Husted, respectively, as Chairmen. After the recess General 
Husted reported the following list of officers, all of whom were chosen by accla-

General Yarnum, on being escorted to the Chair by General Daniel Butter- 
field of New York and Senator O'Connor of Binghamton, addressed the Conven- 
tion as follows : 

" No pent-up TJtica contracts our powers, 
But the whole boundless hemisphere is ours." 

This quotation, as paraphrased, may be taken as the motto, the future war- 
cry, the slogan of the Republican party of this country. 

Over that part of the western hemisphere outside of our own boundaries, we 
seek no domination through power of arms, through forcible annexation, or 
through any hostile act. 

The victories that we would have our country win are the victories of peace,

The Republic in party baa been iu the past, and still is. the pai

despite of public clamor and temporary unpopula ity. 

The Republican party believes in * the principle of protection to American 
labor, for th» sake oft si] as for tbe prosperity of the Nation. 

The Republicans are convinced that unrestricted fri I owever well it

adapted to the neeus and requii new and growing country like ours. 

The Tarid* Bill passed by the last Republican A in full opera- 

tion at the time of the last election, and it is not bi the bitter 

attacks made upon it by our adversaries an I ntations as to its pro- 

visions, that the election of last autumn went against the Republican party. 

But nearly a year has now -rone by, and we, as Republicans of the State of 
New York, confidently submit to our fei e record of the past 

year, and ask once more their suffrage in favor of the party of intelligence aud 
progress. 

We claim that this is the first tariff bill containing a distinctively agricultural 
schedule. 

AVe claim that the statistics of our foreign trade during the ten months since 
the enactment of the law, or until July 31, 1891, show 

That there was an increase <f ovei >53, (00. 000 in our foreign trade over the 
corresponding period of the preceding year. 

That the imports of merchandise free from duty were greater bv uearlv $1 
000,000. 

That the imports of free merchandise have increased over 22 per cent, in the 
total value of all imports. 

That the per capita revenue from duties has been reduced from $3.62 to f2.59. 

That the increase of our exports to foreign countries has been over £32.500.000 
more than during the same month of the preceding year. 

It thus appears that the legislation of the last Congress Tariff Bill, without

Sixth. The act of July 14. 1890, provides for the purchase of the silver pi -

reserve of 100 cents' worth of silver tor every dollar issued. We commend this 
policy of maintaining gold and silver at a parity, the Treasury notes paid for sil- 
ver to be kept at par with gold. The voice of New York is emphatic against anv 
degradation of the currency, and demands with President Harrison that " every 
dollar issued by the Government, whether paper or coin, shall be as good as every 
oihei- dollar. "' 

Seventh. The Republican party, not forgetting the critical days when the 
needs of the Republic counted neither blood nor treasure, while mindful of the 
dictates of economy and avoiding reaction invited by excess of appropriations, 
favors the fulfillment of Die pledges given to the soldiers of the Union, that the 
Nation which they saved would not fail in just, treaxuieut of surviving veterans 
and of the widows and orphans of those who sacrificed their lives that the Nation 
might live.

under American charter by American enterprise, and with American capital, as 
essential to national defence and to the interests of interstate commerce and the 
trade of the continent. 

X iitth. We recognize the dignity of labor and the noeessuty of proper legis- 
lation to protect Its Interests. We deprecate any attempt to lessen the fruits of 
i oil. or to place honest workmen in competition with paupers and convicts, do- 
mestic or iorei.ijn. The rigid enforcement of the Alien Labor Contract law is 
commended, we indorse the laws enacted by the late Republican Congress to 
piot< pie against the influx of the vicious pauper and criminal classes 

of fore ign nations ; and we emphatically approve the rigid enforcement of thes»e 
laws. We endorse ihe provisions of the act known as the Fassett Jaw, and we 
condemn the evasion of the pro\isions of that act by the present State Adminis- 
tration. 

'/?. "We reassert the expressed determination of the Republican party to 
maintain the right of franchise to its fullest extent, and to give all citizens the 
amplest protection to which they are entitled under the Constitution. 

Eleventh. We favor such legislation as wili prevent all illegal combinations 
and unjust exactions bv aggregated capital and corporate powers. We insist 
upon the suppression of all trusts, combines and schemes designed artificially to 
increase the price of the necessaries of life. 

Twelfth. The cruelties and persecutions practised upon the Jews in Russia 
are abhorrent to the sense of justice of this peop'e ; and the intervention of our 
Government by all proper means to secure to the oppressed of all foreign nations 
equal rights under their laws is comuiendscl. 

Thirteenth. We reaffirm the Republican party's favor to thorough genuine re- 
form in the civil service, and commend the National Administration for giving 
effect thereto under existing law. And the flagrant and persistent abuses in the 
State Civil Service by the Democratic Administration are held up to condemna- 
tion. 

Fourteenth. Appeal is taken to the people of the State to redeem its govern- 
ment from discredit brought upon it by Democratic maladministration, the 
result of a personal despotism in the Executive office, which has tolerated and 
fostered corrupti m and debauchery of the State departments, prostituted the 
canals, State prisous and public institutions, and all avenues of legislation, to 
the ambition of an audacious and selfish Executive. Thanks are given faithful 
Republican legislators who have combated these conditions and, so far as was 
in their power, reudered them inoperative. 

Fifteenth. We favor comprehensive and efficient excise legislation for giving 
local option by counties, towns and cities, and restriction by taxation in such 
localities ai do not by option exclude the liquor traffic. 

Sixteenth. Tint there is this year no State tax for "general purposes," and 
a consequent reduction of the tax levy which fixes the lowest rate of State tax 
in thirty-six years, is the result of wise and far-seeing Republican legislation, 
under which already direct taxation has been lessened more than $20,000,000, 
directly benefiting real estate and personal property, and' at the same time estab- 
lishing the State and municipal credit at the highest level. This work of equal- 
izing and relieving the burden of taxation should be continued to completion on 
the same lines. • 

Seventeenth. The refu »al of the Democratic Assembly to allow investigation 
of the N and the large expenditures annually made thereon, was con- 

fession of the jobbery and dishonesty in the Democracy's perversion of the public 
property to base {(artisan uses. The effort of the Republican members of the 
Legislature t > enforce economy on the public works, thwarted by Democratic 
opposition, ii heartily commended. 

Eighteenth. The denial b ; a Democratic Speaker of the Legislature of the 
right of petition, in th< of the memorial of clergymen of all denomina- 

tions and many other citizens, was a flagrant and inexcusable violation of the 
rights of the people, and has our reprobation. 

Nineteenth. We favor the amendment of the Ballot law by the substitution 
for the unofficial " paster " ballot of the "blanket" official ballot, upon which 
the names of candidates shall be compactly grouped, rendering the voter's duty 
easy, treating candidates with equal justice, lessening opportunities for fraud, 
bribery and corruption, and largely inducing the expenses of elections. 

Twentieth. We approve the principle that the government of cities is pri- 
marily a matter of business administration, and the enactment of laws to secure 
for all the cities of the State genuine home rule, the enactment of a law to re- 
quire a general and uniform system of municipal accounting and the adoption 
of an amendment to the constitution requiring the passage of a general bill for 
the government of cities.

$2,213,000, whi'-h would have been distributed I ral Connti< 

just due, but for Democratic opposition in the Legislature. 

Ticenty-secund. We denounce toe unpatriotic effort of Governor Hill, through 
the last Democratic Assembly, to place this State in an unfriendly attitude to- 
ward the World's Columbian Exposition to be held i:i Chicago in 1803 ; that wo 
recognise the necessity for an exhibition b / the State in keeping with its com- 
mercial and industrial supremacy in the Nation; and that jrly action 
by the next Legislature providing for a proper exhibit from this State. 

Twenty -third. It is a fundamental prin ;• publican policy to reduce 

taxation and to retrench the expenditure 

done; therefore, in (he promotion of that po - requested 

to adopt an amend: lent to Section 13, of arti< Ie6, of tl»< m of this 

State, exp mging therefrom the provision made for the n lyment of i lie salary of 
any judicial officer after the expiration of his term of - 

The following resolution by Col. E. P. Shepard, of New by unani- 

mous vote of the Commits immended and presented to the 

Convention, and was carried : 

Resolved, That the Republican party of the Si I 
shipping and commercial matters of the beautiful metropolis o ion at 

the mouth of the Hudson, and will encourage the American spirit that is i< 
mined to carry that supremacy still higher, and to build American ships, man- 
ned by American seamen, both for oa i trade, and, at far as 
possible, that between otlir countries. 

The business of the Conv iththeenth lop 

tion of the platform as reportod, audi* tte commie 

serve during the ensuing year, the d u ates of bhcaus of New York 

chosen in the several districts, separated with universal confidence that a T 
had beften named and a keynote sounded that would insure a glorious victory to 
the Republican party.

MR FASSETT'S SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE AT THE ROCHESTER 

CONVENTION. 
When Mr. Fassett appeared before the convention as its candidate for Gover 
nor he received a magnificent reception. Every delegate sprang to his feet and 
cheered, the band played " Hail to the Chief." and there was a general jubilee. 
Mr. Fassett stood facing the convention in a modest but calm manner. His 
speech was declared by the keen politicians who heard it to be one of the most 
masterly they had ever heard. It was full of political tact, inspiring to the Re 
publican paity, full of excellent criticism of the Democratic administration, and 
all in all a most admirable speech. It is given in full below : 

Mr. Chairman, Republicans, Men of the State of New York : What 
you want from me is work, not words. Were I, however, not to express to you 
how deeply touched I am in my inmost heart by the exhibition of confidence and 
trust in m r d on your part, I should be something either above human or be- 
neath it. 

I have b^ftn a Republican all my life ; the fundamental principles of the in- 
trinsic equality of every man in the eye of the law, the majesty and dignity and 
worth of human labor and of those who work, and the supreme excellence of 
manhood suffrage for free men, I learned in my mother's lap and at my father's 
knee. 

In the passing years, with ripening experience and a deeper knowledge of 
life. I have come year by year to appreciate more accurately the party of Fre- 
mont and Lincoln, of Chase and Seward, and of Harrison and Blaine. I believe 
that party offers the best system of means and appliances for good government in 
the Nation, in the State, and in that great jnoduct of modern times, the city. I 
a»k no warmer indorsement than the indorsement of representative Republicans 




ARTHUR C. WADE. 



The I'i ii Btic \n Ri Book. 19 

I ask no higher tribute than your a p prov a l. I '.t . I can 

only accept your confidence an! devote m\ best efforts to .justify the 
your choice. I speak the words of truth and soberness when 1 say that, consult- 
iiigmv d\m comfort, I should Hellishly have preferred to hav« givsn the most 
untiring and devoted energy to fighting the Republican battles under the banner 
of some of the older and better soldiers who hai e been hi fore you. In accept 
this tremendous trust at your hand-, J turn to them and their friends, with grati 
tude and with solicitation, asking and expecting that, having put tfa 
upon my shouJders, you will all render to the support of our common cause that 
same loyalty and devotion that I should have pledged and rendered to each ont 
of these better men. 

THE CRUSADE AGAINST HILLISM AJCD TAMMAXYI8M. 

I regard your action as a trumpet-call to duty as a command to underta 1 , 
crusade against the Democracy of this State, with all that that implies of Hiilism 
and Tammanyisrn. That command I sh ill obey. To it I purpose deroting all 
my energy and strength, and whatever skill I have. This I can promise. f< 
these are powers within the limit of my own volition. But that is net sie 
We can win. (A voice in the gallery said : •• We will.") 

But you must do it. (Cries fill do It.") 

It is not enough that you have an enemy not only with a record negai^ 
useless but positively bad; it is not enough that for remedial affirmative left 
tion for the last twelve veftTC this State has had to depend exclusively upon K<- 
publican legislators ; it is not enough to deaerre to win. Thai is half the battle. 
The other half is to go in and get it. 1 accept your invitation with aU that it 
means. This acceptance means immediate retirement from a place of honor and 
preferment bestowed directly by your choice of 1888. O <e thing at a time. When 
my President commanded, I obeyed. When my party commands, that edict is 
supreme* 1 understand this invitation to come, not from one, not from two. not 
from three but from all the representatives of the whole Republican party of this 
State. Then, if that is true, 1 will lead where you dare follow. (Great I ueering.) 

I will do my best to put before the people of this State what you have 
struggling for in the Legislature Sad out of it for nine years. There ar.' tw< 
tures for the great. jury of the State of New York to pass upon. The one pictuTe. 
the legislative record of the Republican party in nine years: and the other, the 
legislative and executive record of the Democracy through the same period of 
time. I challenge the Democratic picture in vain for one feature that makes for 
righteousness in life or government. (Applause.) 

THE RECORD OK THE DEMOCRACY. 

Persistent, dogged persistence, biilliain . audacious resistance to 

the voice of the people at the polls I see all through that nine years the epi 
of Democratic existence. What do we mean by the true principles of D< 
racy? They are exemplified in two centres— New York and Albany — two cyclone 
centres of Democratic influence. What is Hiilism? What is Tammanyisru ! 
What is triumphant Democracy ? I appeal to history. 1 appeal to the record ol 
your memory. The Republican record of nine years has been a perpetual protesi 
against the doctrine of prostituting, through purely political and partisan pur 
poses, the great powers of public office. Time and again we have been met 
with a veto. Time and again we have been beaten back by abhorrent i. 
in an abhorrent way. Tine and time again, inspired by your voice 
and your vote, the Legislature has come to the attack for good go\ 
ment. We have wrested fioin an unwilling Executive the lowest tax-rate f v 
thirty years. The Collateral Inheritance Tax law, that ultimately will free 
your homes from the State tax-gatherers' visits altogether; rapid transit for 
New York City ; a completed aqueduct that is not going to crumble; ballot re- 
form, not perfect, but it remains for you to help me to complete it. (Applause, i 
I promised you not to speak. There are so many things in this record that ouglu 
to be brought home to every household in this State and to every intelligent man 
in the State. My strength, is not sufficient here to-night in one speech to gc 
through it all, but if I live I will try to carry your message, as I understand it 
into every corner in this State. 

BATTLE-CRIES OF THE CAMPAIGN 

I ask your permission now and hereafter to go everywhere, to go as an ae 
credited representative of the entire party. Municipal reform should be one ol 
the slogans of this campaign; administrative reform in State departments shouk 
be another. 

Now, one word that is almost personal, and I will not detain you longer. We 
have as good government in the cities and counties in the State as we deserve. 



uo The Republican Reference Book. 

There .are more good men in any civilized community in this world of G-od than 
there are bad men. The Republican party's record for what we have done, for 
what we propose to do, interpreted by the light, not of hatred, not of malice, but 
by the light of what we have done, promises the people of the State of New York 
better government in our cities and more quiet in our homes, lighter taxation, a 
stronger front in the State against all abhorrent forces than the attitude of the 
Democratic party promises on the same questions. Let the good men in each 
community, in each school-house district, in each town and county, all over the 
State, rally to the support of the Republican ticket as such, for what it repre- 
sents, not'for what it is. 

We are entering upon an important campaign ; the significance of it is not to 
be interpreted from reading the platform alone, but from the track our party 
has made iu its onward march; from the monuments which we have left on all 
hands, and which our opponents have destroyed right and left. The fight is not 
a fight for one man, not a fight for two men, not a fight for any man ; but a strug- 
gle for the predominance of Republican principles, which are written all over this 
platform. You may prefer one man to another; you may have preferred a list of 
candidates different from that which will soon be completed. 

These are subordinate matters. The Republican party has always been grand- 
est, has always been greatest, and has never been defeated when it had its eye 
iixed upon its principles. It was not the names of the generals in the War of the 
Rebellion that conjured success. It was the everlasting right that moved us for- 
ward to victory. The party does not stand for anything good when it is not 
aggressive. 

The Democratic party has been riven from one end to the other bv quarrels 
for leadership. They have written over the entrance to their halls : <r Xo farm- 
ers need apply." They have written over the entrance to their halls : " ~No work- 
in gm an need apply." They have written sundry and other issues which we will 
discuss on some future occasion. 

And now, Mr. Chairman and fellow-Republicans, when I find myBelf in such a 
happy family as this, I appreciate that I am a monopolist. I want" to monopolize 
all your love, all your loyalty, all your affection, and, as you have observed, I 
desire to monopolize all the conversation. Friends, fellow-Republicans, as I said 
before, we can win ; we shall win, yea, we will. (Uproarious applause.) 




WILLIAM A. SUTHERLAND, 



SKETCHES OF THE CANDIDATES. 



JACOB SLOAT FASSETT. 

Jacob Slqat Fassett was born in Elmira, November 13, 1853. His fa 
N. P. Fassett, of the law firm of Smith, Robertson & Fassett, was a Pennsyl- 
vania farmer's boy, who taught district school, reading law at nights, and is still 
in active practiceat the Chemung Co. bar. Young Fassett completed 1 1 i .-, studies 
at the Elmira Free Academy at the age of 17, and entered Rochester UniTt 
During his collegiate career, he contributed to his own support by clerical work 
in the intervals of studies. On his graduation in 1875, lie went to Grand Rapids, 
Michigan, as a tutor, but returned to Elmira in a year and commenced reading 
law with his father. He took a special course at the University of Heidelberg 
in Germany, and, on his return to Elmira, lie was admitted to the bar on motion 
of David B. Hill, then member of Assembly, and a practicing \ 
some time. 

In 1879 the office of District-Attorney for Chemung County being vacant, the 
Governor, Lucius Robinson, appointed >l- to fill it. Far about I 

he discharged the duties of this responsible post with marked activity and >u< - 
cess. From his youth an earnest Republican, or as he himself said " Kepub- 
licanborn, Republican bred, Republican so long as the party should remain true 
to its ideals," he now began to take an active and before long a leading part in 
• local, State and National politic*. In 1882 Mr. Hill had slid back from t. 
seuibly into the Board of Aldermen of Elmira, was once more carried forward on 
the broad shoulders of Grover Clevel ind int > the Lieutrnant-Governorship, so 
that when, in the following year, Mr. Fassett was put forward to i 
shaken Republican fortunes in theXXVUth Senatorial District, comprisin_ 
counties of Chemang, Steuben and Allegany, and was in due time triumphantly 
elected, he found his old friend Hill already installed in the high seat of the 
Senate Chamber at Albany ready to pat him on the head. 

FASSETT, HILLV 

However, it was not long before the Lieutenant-Governor found in the young 
Senator from Chemung an aggressive Republican, and what was worse, from the 
Hill point of view, one likely to grow and certain to be hard to overthrow or 
guide by any of the devices so familiar to the followers of the peanut school of 
politics. In 1885, Cleveland having become President and the Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor having succeeded him, Hill, who wa» a candidate for election as Governor 
to succeed himself, made a most bitter fight in the Chemung district, with the 
double object first of helping Hill, and secondly, of destroying the growing 
influence of Fassett. Consequently Fassett was re-elected to the State Senate by 
a greatly increased plurality in a very heavy vote. In 1837, being an off year, the 
total vote was light, and the Prohibition vote, all drawn from the Republican 
ranks, was heavy; yet Fassett again triumphed over the renewed and even 
violent hostility of Hill, who was beginning to look upon what he considered his 
"prestige"' as seriously menaced in his own private and personal stronghold of

Elrnira. In 1889 Fassett was for the fourth time chosen Senator, notwithstand- 
ing the drain of the Prohibition vote, by a plurality greater than ever. The 
figures point to th§ career of a man hard to beat :

1883 15,867 

1885 20,183 

1887 16,812 

1889 17,592 

Meanwhile, for the head of the State ticket the Democratic majority had been 
steadily increasing, from 11.134 for Hill for Governor in 18S5 to 17,077 for Cook 
for Secretary cf State in 1887, and finally to 20,527 for Frank Rice in 1889 for the 
same office; thus showing that Mr. Fassett's gains were by no means part of a 
general drift, but are to be ascribed to his growing personal popularity among 
the people of his district. In 1889 Mr. Fassett was chosen president pro tempore 
of the Senate, in place of Henry R. Low, deceased. 

A GREAT SENATORIAL LEADER. 

From the day when he first took his seat in that body all the force, all the 
skill and all the tact with which nature has liberally endowed him have been 
used in the support and defence of good government and for the overthrow of 
bad government. The acknowledged adherents of Tammany and the Brooklyn 
Democracy, were not slow in coming to regard the young man from Chemung as 
"the enemy." A man whom they could neithar cajole, nor "rattle" with out- 
dy, nor overcome in fence, was to the astute and experienced politicians of 
C inker or of McLaughlin, a rare if not a novel sight. It was offensive 
and dangerous, as presently appeared. 

EXPOSED TAMMANY CORRUPTION. 

Their worst forebodings were realized wheu, in March, 1890, the special com- 
mittee to investigate the affairs of cities commonly known as the Fassett com- 
mittee, after its chairman and originator, began its work. The very name of 
" investigation " had come to be a thing to smile at, but there was little smiling 
when, under Mr. Fassett's masterful preparation and searching questions, 
the rottenness of the new Aqueduct and the old Aqueduct Commission 
was dragged to light, to the sorrow of the contractors and the dismay of the 
Commissioners, the former losing their money and their "claims," the latter 
their snug berths. Mr. Fassett's services in the Senate culminated with his 
brilliant, resourceful and determined vindication of the Republican position 
during the deadlock of the last session. 

COLLECTOR OF THE PORT. 

When, at the close of last July, Mr. Erhardt resigned his place as Collector 
of the Port of New York, the President at once telegraphed to Mr. Fassett, at 
his home at Elmira, offering him the place. Thus twice within a few weeks 
have the public been treated to the rare spectacle of "the office seeking the 
man. ' Mr. Fassett at onee accepted the wholly unsought honor, took off' his coat 
■ ,y as well as figuratively, and sec to work with his usual tact and vigor to 
show that a man may be the Ijest of Collectors without becoming the worst of 
Republicans.

I- OR KALLOT REFORM. 

in the fine speech at the ballot-reform meeting at the Cooper instil 

January 16, 1890, Mr. Fassett revealed bin people of this city for the 

man he is. Among many telling hits, be said : 

There is a wrong condition that confronts us. Wo know what is the trouble. 
Wo know the remedy, and we desire to have it. (Cheers.) We can l>ei 
We will have it. It is a matter of American pluck and American wilL 
I have been Introdaeed to yon as a practical politiciiui. 'Laughter.) I wish 
every American citizen of twenty-one years and upward were ■ practical poji- 
tician. (Prolonged cheers ) If there Is anything wrong in public government, 
if there is anything rotten in the administration of city governments or State 
governments, it is be. i use all American citizens are Dot practical politic] 
(Cheers.) The first duty of an American man i [can politician. 

(Cheers.) You have no business to claim the right to DO pro sses- 

fiion of a dollar's worth of 'property or an hour- under your own root' 

unless you are willing to devote some of your time and some of your brai 
the perpetuation of some of our institutions. What right have yon t » d tmand 
of Governor Hill that he shall sign a bnllot-reform bill when you h: 
him after be has once vetoed it ? (Tremendous cheering.) 

The fault is not entirely with practical politicians. The fault is with 
American citizens, rolling in wealth, abounding in comfort, who do 
interest, enough to attend to the fundamental elements of political life. You do 
not go near the primaries or the caucuses. You do not attend nominating ona> 
ventions. If it is a atorn u toast your shins at the ri 

going to the polls This is (rod's universe, and the right pre? 
wrong wherever it asserts itself cheers), and iff lything wrong bn 

of our institutions, see to it before you cast tho first stone that you 
are blameless. (Cheers.)

JOHN W. VR00MAN 

was born at German Flats, Herkimer Couuty, MTow York, in 1*44. He worked on 
his father's farm as a boy, and attended the distri 't school and village Academy. 
In winter he taught school as soon as his own school <1 •. er. 

A UNION SAILOR. 

When the war broke out he enlisted in the navy, and served with ore 
Among the engagements in which he participated was the attack on Fort 
Fisher. In 1866 he was admitted to the bar. 

HIS LEGISLATIVE CAREER. 

In 1868 he was appointed clerk of the Surrogate's Court of his county. His 
first legislative service was as deputy clerk ot the Assembly in 1876, and in 1878 
he became a clerk of the State Senate. Appointed a member of the Republican 
State Committee in 1877, he was made Secretary of the Coumittee in 1880, and 
served in that capacity for eight years. As clerk of the Senate, he was reap- 
pointed for five successive terms, rounding out a continuous service often years. 
Since 1888 he has been in business as a banker at Herkimer. 

ILLUSTRIOUS IN MASONRY. 

He is a member of Post 404 of the Grand Armj of the Republic, has been for 
twenty years a member of the M!<\ sonic Grand Lodge of the State, in which he 



24 The Kepublican Reference Book. 

has held eleven offices, including that of Grand. Master of the State, to which he 
was chosen in 1889. He was twice unanimously re-elected, but declined a third 
terra. 

Mr. Vrooman is a trustee of the Holland Society of New York, a director of the 
Young Men's Christian Association of Herkimer, a member of the American 
Yacht Club, the Manhattan Athletic Club, and many other social organizations. 
For fifteen years he has been a Sunday-School superintendent in the Methodist 
Church. 

HIGH IN POPULAR ESTEEM. 

In politics and legislation, there is no New York Republican who is regarded 
as higher authority than John W. Vrooman. His unsurpassed familiarity with 
senatorial proceedings peculiarly qualifies him for the discharge of the duties of 
Lieutenant-Governor, upon which he will enter next January. 

Long associated with what has been known as the Miller wing of the Party, 
Mr. Vrooman's nomination brought all Republicans of the State into perfect 
harmony. Fassett and Vrooman at the head of the ticket signalizes it as one 
appealing to all Republicans for zealous support. 



EUGENE F. O'CONNOR 

was boun in Brooklyn of Irish- American parents, on November 10, 1844. After 
studying in the public school, he entered the Jesuits College of St. Francis 
Xavier, where he graduated at the age of 17. He immediately enlisted in the 
Fifty-second Brooklyn Regiment. His first service was under General Banks in 
Louisiana, where he was captured, but escaped, and, being promoted to the rank 
of Second Lieutenant, fought in the battles of the Red River campaign, particu- 
larly those at Alexandria, Manusura and Marksville. The Fifty-second New 
York, with other regiments of the Nineteenth Army Corps, being ordered to the 
Shenandoah Valley, young O'Connor was detailed as Aide-de-Camp to General 
Molineax, and participated in the battles of Sheridan's campaign, including 
Cedar Creek, where he was severely wounded. After the war, in which he at- 
tained the grade of Captain, he entered the New York University Law School, 
and completed his studies. 

CAREER AFTER THE WAR. 

In 1886 he was the Republican candidate for Congress in the Fourth District, 
and cut down a Democratic majority of 8,000 to 3,000 votes. In 1887 he was 
elected State Senator from the Third District, and was known in the Senate as a 
painstaking committee worker and ready debater. Mr. O'Connor has been Pres- 
ident of the Columbia Club of Brooklyn, and is now at the head of the Emerald 
Society. His summers are spent at a family seat at Saratoga. He is a member 
of the John A. Dix Post of the Grand Army, and is extremely popular among 
Brooklyn veterans. 

ARTHUR C. WADE. 

Arthur C Wade, the candidate for Controller, was born in Charlotte, Mon- 
roe county. When he was a small boy his father took him to Ellington. The 
.son attended the common school as long as he could, but he was forced to leave 
school to go to work. He obtained emplo yment in a sawmill, where he worked, 
until, through an accident, he lost his left arm. Then lie was so situated that 
he could begin the study of law ; and he entered the office of T. R. Case of 



THR RXPUBMCAU Kl I Hook. 2;"» 

Ellington. Afterward lie .studied at the Albany Law School. He was admitted 
to the bar in 1877 and began practice as i member oi Case A Wade. 

Mr. Wade obtained considerable prominence early m his career by the masterly 
manner in which he handled a number of assignment cases. This attracted the 
attention of ex-Judge Cooke, of Jamestown, and he was taken into the firm of 
Cooke, Fisher & Wade. Two years ago he was a candidate for nomination as 
State Senator in Commodore P. Vedder's district, hut was defeated. At one 
time M> Wade was city attorney far Jamestown. 



WILLIAM A. SUTHERLAND. 

William A. Sutherland, the candidate for Attorney-General, was born May 
30,1849. He WM graduated at the Genesee Wealeyau seminary and Genesee 
College, Lima; studied law in the office of Judge S. A. Nash, Livingston county, 
and was admitted to the bar in Rochester in 1874. H- iaw at Mt. Mor- 

ris until January, 1884, when he entered into partnership with Judge W. Dean 
Shuart in this city. Since that time he has been one of tin* tautap of the 
Rochester bar as he has been one of the leaders of the Republican party here. 
He was for several yean secretary and treasurer of the Livingston county central 
committee, and as chairman of the senatorial committee for the Thirtieth di 
he welcomed the delegates of thai district to Rochester in 18So. In the spring of 
1884 Mr. Sutherland was a delegate to the congressional convention which chose 
delegates to the national convention Mr. Sutherland has been a frequent dele- 
gate to judicial, county and state conventions. Ho nominated Assemblyman 
Cornelius R. Parsons for Lieutenant-Governor at Saratoga in 1888. The address 
was pronounced by the Albany Evening Journal to be one of the surprises of the 
convention, and by the press to be oratorically the best effort of that convention. 
Mr. Sutherland is an orator of rare ability. As grand president of the Empire 
Order of Mutual Aid, in 1884. he delivered an address which was described by 
the press as the strongest argument }*et presented for co-operative insurance, 
and of which 20,000 copies were published by the order. In 1885 Mr. Sutherland 
represented the Rochester societies in an address at the laying of the corner- 
stone of the new government building, and last April he was the speaker at the 
great Washington rink jubilee of the Masonic fraternity. He was invited by 
the faculty of the Normal school at Brockport, inaugurated its Arbor Day 
observances at that institution in an essay on "Tree Culture." which was highly 
praised at that time. Mr. Sutherland made his first appearance on the stump in 
the campaign of 1876. Iu 1878 he married Miss Inez L. Jackson, of Medina. 
His father, Rev. A. Sutherland, now on the retired list, was upwards of forty 
years a highly-honored clergyman, widely known in Western New York. For 
a man who has been a lawyer for less than a score of years, he has been remark- 
ably successful. He has handled some of the most difficult cases in his part of 
the State, and it is a maxim among lawyers with whom he comes in contact that 
they had rather oppose any two other lawyers than Mr. Sutherland alone. He 
has been in Rochester less than eight years, and he now is one of the leading 
lawyers in the city. Mr. Sutherland never has held office, but he was a candi- 
date for the Senate in 1889, against Donald McNanghton, the most popular Dem- 
ocrat in Monroe county. Mr. Sutherland is a partner of Judge W. D. Shuart. ot 
Rochester, under the firm name ot* Shuart to Sutherland.

IRA M. HEDGES 

is a native of Rockland county, a lawyer by profession, but was occupied as 
President of a bank at Ha verstraw, and in managing a large lumber business, 
while also interested in the manufacture of brick and salt. 

His army record is brilliant. He was a Colonel on the staff of General Meade, 
and commanded the Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg. He has long been 
prominent in the Grand Army of the Republic, and was made Commander of the 
Department of New York in 1884. He was prominently mentioned at the last 
Grand Army encampment for Commander -in Chief, but withdrew from the con. 
test in favor of his friend and fellow-statesman, Captain Palmer of Albany. 
General Hedges is 52 years old. He has always resided in his native county of 
Rockland. His present candidacy is the second for the office of State Treasurer 
having contested that position with his present opponent in 1889, when he polled 
3,000 votes more than the head of the Republican ticket. 

VERPLANCK COLVIN. 

Verplanck Colvin, the nominee for State Engineer and Surveyor, was born 
in Albany, January 4, 1847. He was educated at the famous old Albany Acad- 
emy, and afterward took a course under private tutorship. Mr. Colvin first 
turned his attention to the law, but abandoned that study for civil engineering, 
which profession he has since followed. 

Mr. Colvin has, perhaps, done more for the preservation of the Adirondack 
wilderness than any other man. He first began on his own account to explore 
its fastnesses in 1865. He went to considerable personal expense in surveying 
the then aimost unmarked territory, and succeeded at last in calling the atten- 
tion of the State Legislature to the need of action in preserving the primeval 
forest. 

In 1872 the Legislature came to Mr. Colvin's aid, and finally, in 1878, he was 
made Superintendent of the Adirondack Survey. The engineering forces under 
his command performed a large amount of valuable work in locating and defin- 
ing the lands belonging to the State. This work, so invaluable in its character, 
made it possible for the State to know just what belonged to it, and afforded in 
formation which led to the suppression of timber stealing and depredations on 
the public domain. 



Fassett as Senator. 

As State Senator, Mr. Fassett has been distinguished for his aversion to fav- 
oritism by special legislation, and for his devotion to beneficent general laws. 
Entering the Senate when only 31 years old, he at once took a prominent position 
in that body, and his services as Republican leader have made his name illus- 
trious in the annals of the State. He is specially noted for his championship of 
laws to protect labor, to promote the interests of workers, and to secure proper 
care for the helpless. How great his services in this regard have been is indica- 
ted by the following list of son.a of the measures which he championed

and were made a sufficient number of days before the bankruptcy, the wage- 
earners might be defrauded ot their due. So, in Fassett introduced a 
bill making the wage-earners preferred creditors, even over such judgments or 
transfers. This bill met all possible eva-< ttempta to cheat the w 
earners. 

PRISON REFORM KNTORCED. 

As a reformer of prison administration, Senator Fassett stands at the head of 
New York legislators. 

The workingmen of the Stal hanics, had long complained 

of the injurious competition which their industries were obliged to su.-miu owing 
to the cheapness at which the productions of convict labor were placed upon the 



28 The Republican Reference Book. 

market. A respectable free man, who perhaps has his wife and family to sap- 
port as well as himself, must and ought to have good wages, and convict labor, 
devoted mainly to a few branches of mechanical production, tends to lower the 
free man's wages. This was the case in this State until 1888. 

In that year workingmen went to the Legislature and demanded a redress of 
their grievances. The result was the passage of a law totally abolishing con- 
vict labor in the prisons. For months the convicts lived in idleness, enduring 
misery which can hardly be appreciated by the multitudes who never have and 
never will see the inside of a prison. Many of them became insane ; all deter- 
iorated in mind and body. The wardens of the prisons became alarmed and beg- 
ged that some kind of work might be provided. la such a serious condition of 
things Mr. Fassett applied his great abilities to the solution of the difficulty. 

It is by no means too strong to say that he solved it. He did more. He com- 
pletely revolutionized the methods of sentencing culprits. He codified all the 
existing laws about convicts, rendered them plain and homogeneous, and added 
what his own investigations into penology suggested, and that the most eminent 
penologists in the country— men like Theodore W. Dwight — approved of. 

As to the other measures above enumerated, it is only necessary to scan the 
list to realize how great has been the good accomplished. The destitute orphans, 
and those afflicted with mental disease, have owed to his efforts better care than 
they ever received. 

HOW HE HELPED NEW YORK. 

The commerce of New Fork has been greatly benefited by the Pilot Bill, and 
business men and property owners have been similarly advantaged through the 
uniform Fire Insurance Policy act. Senator Fassetts brilliant work in conduct- 
ing the investigation of ISTew York City misgovernment is fresh in the mind of 
all. It has resulted in a great saving of public money, and a great improve- 
ment of the public service, especially in the Sheriffs office. 

A PRACTICAL REFORMER. 

Set down to the credit of Senator Fassett and the other Republican members 
of the Legislature, are many other measures of almost equal importance, care- 
fully considered, elaborately brought out and demanded by the most enlightened 
public opinion, which he and they have not yet, because of the influences 
against them, succeeded in placing in the statutes of the State. 

The list is so long that only the principal ones can bementioned. Among them 
is the Constitutional Convention bill, which was passed in pursuance of an over- 
whelming vote of the people. It was vetoed by Gov. Hill. Another was the 
Anti-Bribery bill to prevent the corruption of voters and the intimidation of em- 
ployees at elections. Gov. Hill vetoed it. Again, all measures of excise revision 
and reform, although approved by prominent men of both political parties, have 
been in a similar manner baffled and defeated by the Governor. A liquor tax 
bill, which would have lightened the burden of taxation on homes and farms to 
the extent of three million dollars a year, was twice passed and put into the 
limbo of non-execution by the Executive. The Saxton ballot reform also was 
thrice passed and vetoed, and finally approved only when put into such shape 
that it makes a mockery of reform. 

It may be asked how it comes that there is a General Registration act on the 
statute books when it has been charged that a good bill to that end was vetoed by 
Gov. Hill. So it was. Mr. Fassett is anything but a theorist. He is pre-emi- 
nently a practical statesman. If he cannot obtain all the legislation he wants he

takes all he can get. He is a believer in the truth of the old adage that half a 
loaf is better than none at all. In the session of 18s'J Senator Linson. actii . 
the suggestion of Mr. Hill, introduced a general registration act. It did no; 
isfy Mr. Fassett. It did not go the length to which he believed it ought to go for 
the protection of voters and the prevention of intimidation. Nevertheless he be- 
came satisfied it was the only bill Sov. Hill would sign. Therefore after a conf»-i 
ence with Senators Linson, Hendricks aud Chase, Mr. Fassett came to the 
elusion that nothing better could be obtained, and the bill was passed. 

In like mauner, all the laws that have been passed for the relief of the agri 
cultural interests of the State, such as the Oleomargarine bill, have been initi- 
ated, perfected and passed by Republican Legislatures. Turn the light on the 
record, and this fact will stand out, deer and indisputable. Since 1884. when Mr. 
Fassettwent to the Senate, he and his fellow- Republicans have been working 
unceasingly for those whom the immortal Lincoln called "the plain people." 
Read again the short summary of the legislative measure* printed in the begin- 
ning of this article as the evidence. 

It is evidence that cannot be successfully impeached before any body of intel 
ligent voters. And against all these great measures, rooted deep in the daily life 
of the masses of the people, throwing over them the great shield of the law 
against wrong and injustice in all their forms, what is there to the credit of Gov- 
ernor Hill and the Democracy ? The single enactment providing tor Labor Day ! 
By comparison with the great measures in the interest of the toilers which Mr. 
Fassett and the Republican party have welded into law this holiday statute sinks 
into insignificance. It is mere sentimental legislation M against greet, deep, 
practical, far-reaching, comprehensive, refbrmetoiy lawgiving. 



Fassett's Superb Address. 

The Republican Club of New York City, a young men's organization with the 
energy, the confidence and hopefulness of early manhood, held a monster mas*- 
meeting in Carnegie's Music Hall in this city on the night of September 22 to 
ratify the nominations of the Rochester Convention. The candidate of the Re- 
publican party for Governor, J. Sloat Fassett, deli\ ered the following address : 

I do not believe that the Republican party has a monopoly of all the virtues. 
There are men in the Democratic party who want good government — very many 
men — a majority, I believe, but an apathetic majority, an indifferent majority, a 
majority w T ho through fidelity to the traditions of the olden days have permitted 
the most iniquitous minority that our history records as being in the saddle to 
govern the Democratic party. Yet all who'are here and all our friends agree on 
one proposition, and that is the need of good government. (Applause.) 

HOW TO GET GOOD GOVERNMENT. 

Is ow, how can we have it ? We must have and can attain it by individual, 
aggressive, intelligent participation in public affairs. (Applause.) ~ ; Aye,*' vou 
gay, "this is well enough, buthowarewe toknowwhom tobeiieve ?" There aretwo 
great parties struggling for the mastery— the Democratic partv and the Republi- 
can party. They each call the other very hard names. They eacli accuse the other 
of being' guilty of very bad things. If one comes out absolutely against the other 
then the other strikes back. How are we clean people, who know nothing about 
politics and politicians, to know which is right and which is wrong ? The news- 
papers are not always reliable in their utterances. The Republicans argue for 
one set of things and the Democrats for another. How are we to know ? "Well, 
it is easy when you have New Yorks experience with both parties. (Laughter 
and applause.) Trust your own memories first, your own observances second, 
your own readiiig of New York events third. The Republican party is willing to 
appeal to the records. (Applause.) There are records. (Applause.) There are, 
for instance, the published vetoes of Governors— 'these ore always on 1- 



30 The Republican Reference Book. 

(Applause.) There are acts of the Legislature which are part of the records of 
the State. There arejourDals of the Senate and of the Assembly which are imper- 
ishable records. Consult all these. (Applause.) Then if you find not that one inci- 
dent in the lives of the candidates or one act in the history of a party has been 
exceptionally brilliant or exceptionally reprehensible, but if you find that the 
general trend and tendency under any circumstances and under all circum- 
stances of one party is to the upbuilding and uplifting, the encouragement of 
every industrial pursuit and enterprise, and results in smaller taxes, in better 
order and belter government, and of the other party that the reverse is true, 
there should be no hesitation on your part as to which party you should assist at 
the baJJot-box. (Applause.) 

THE SITUATION TO-DAY. 

Now, what is the situation to-day ? The armies are in array and in motion, 
the battle is set, the litigants are in court. And now, who are they ? On one 
side the Republican party, on the other hand the Democratic party, not the 
County Democracy under the old-line Democrats, but Tammany Hall. 

Tammany Hall against the State. It is now a matter of recorded history for 
the present and for the future, until the people of the State of New York de- 
cide otherwise, that no Democrat has any power or faculty or right to enter into 
the preliminary caucuses or the ultimate convention of his party unless Tam- 
many Hall sets tho seal of approval on his forehead. (Hisses.) There was no 
room in the last convention for any man who bowed not the knee to Baal. 
There was no room for any candidate who bowed not the knee to Baal. The 
ticket was a Tammany Hall ticket made by Tammany Hall chieftains. The 
platform was a Tammany Hall platform made by Tammany Hall chieftains. 
And now let me beg one moment in passing to inquire who were turned down. 
(Laughter.) 

I didn't see anything in that platform about Grover Cleveland. Tammany 
Hall never liked Grover Cleveland. (Applause) I did not see any "pointing 
with pride" to the illustrious and spotless career of Lucius Robinson. Tam- 
many Hall never liked Lucius Robinson. He was an honest man. (Applause.) 
It was not Democracy when the County Democrats shook hands with the Re- 
publicans last fall in trying to emancipate this city, but it was Democracy to 
assassinate Lucius Robinson in 1879. (Applause.) I didn't see anything about 
any soldier in the platform at Saratoga, and yet Edward E. Jones was a soldier. 
(Laughter and prolonged applause.) They had not any one in their convention 
or on their ticket for the boys who wore the blue (applause) or any wish in 
their hearts to pay tl.-e boys in blue with a just pension. (Applause.) And yet 
Edward F. Jones was a brave man in 1885. (Laughter.) Like Barbara Ereitchie 
he took up the flag which Flower threw down (laughter and applause), and he 
is receiving his reward. (Laughter.) Now, one interesting question : Was 
Governor Hill really defeated at Saratoga? (Laughter and cries of 4, No, No.") 
It is evident, my friends, that you were not born yesterday. (Roars of laughter.) 
Either he was defeated or he was not. (A voice "He got it in the neck.") 
(Laughter.) If that elegant expression is true, and he did receive a blow in the 
neighborhood ot his iugular vein (laughter), even then it is plain that even Hill- 
ism itself was not bad enough for Tammany Hall (laughter) when they dared to 
put their foot on the neck of the young hero who led them to victory for nine 
years ; for that is what David B. Hill did. 

A CONVENTION OF TRICKSTERS. 

But 1 do not believe that they put their foot upon him, nor do you. (Ap- 
plause.) If they did neglect him they were guilty of casting aside their political 
saviour. If they did not then why did he masquerade ? What was he ashamed 
of? What did he desire to conceal? What responsibilities did he de^re to 
shirk ? Was it that bein£ a Presidential possibility he did not dare to be under- 
stood as taking any position on the silver question ? Was it that being a Presi 
dential possibility he did not dare face a platform that eliminated civil service 
reform (applause) from its utterances, that eliminated also many other reforms 
from its utterances ? Was it that he masqueraded because he didn't dare face 
the possibility of a defeat for Tammany this fall? It was some one of these 
things, whichever one it was. In any case it was highly discreditable to Tam- 
many and highly discreditable to the Democratic chieftain from Chemung. 
(Applause.) 

And now with your permission I want to take up the question of that plat- 
form. It is a Tammany platform. (Hisses.) It is the best they could do. It is 
the apotheosis of Tammany's aspirations. Tammany is an eccentric body men- 
tally and morally. It has intellectual strabismus. (Laughter.) It is troubled 
with heterophomy. (Laughter.) It calls things wrong. It is troubled with 



J'ue Republican Ri 31 

forgetfnlness. It sees things wrong. It is troubled \* ith a lack of a highly 
organized and extremely delicate nioral sense. It does not sufficiently under- 
stand the barrier* which in a well-organized community unite and separate 
uj^uMj aud tuuMj, mine and thine, and mine from thine. 

UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. 

I say that Tammany starts the Democratic party this fail under f.ilse pre- 
tences, and is peddling stolen (roods. (Applause.) [nth ••. the plat- 
form starts out b*. reaffirming— it does not reaffirm beyond '&4 and '88 

laughter) — well that is no wonder, either. (Renewec aughter.) The fir.-t thing 
that strikes me Is that a Iver plank. r l here is a big parage here which »avs: 

"We now, as then, steadfastly adhere to principles of sound finance. \Ve are 
against the coinage of any dollar which is not of the intrin : rfc value of t 
other dollar of the Tni: W e therefore denounce 1 1 rmah 

silver law, under which one-tenth of our gold stock has been expr.i ted and all 
our silver output is dammed up at home, as a lal-e pretence b'lt artful hindrance 
of return to free* bimetallic coinage and aa tending only to produce a change 
from one kind of monometallism to another. We unite with the friends 

of honest mom iere in stigmatizing the Sherman pr -iiver 

basis law as no solution of the gold and silver question, and as a fit appendix to 
the subsidy and bounty swindle, the HcKinley worse. than war tariff, the B 
reciprocity hnmbu^, the squandered surplus/ the advancing defi« i r . the defeet- 
ive census, the falsified representation and the revolutionary procedures of th»- 
Billion Congress— all justly condemned by the peopl prising las: 

vember — a verdict which, renewed next year, will empower Democratic states- 
men to guide the people's councils and to execute the people's will."' 

In that portion of this plank which relates to silver there appears to be a 
beautiful straddle, or I cannot understand anything. By friends cf honest 
finance they ha-1 ■. to the Democratic party in Ohio, for out 

there they are openly in favor of the unlimited coic;._ I . and here tbey 

do not know whether they are or not. and nobody can find out laughter) : for 
Mr. Hill has taken to the woods. Tammany's leaders have gone into the Adiron- 
dack wilderness, and I don't be lewe The JSew Turk Times is authorized to sneak 
for that coterie. (Laughter and applause, i As for the Democratic candidate 
for Governor, unless the records in Congress do him great injustice, it makes no 
difference to him if one stirrup of the Democratic mule is silver and the other is 
gold, for he has been found with his foot in every stirrup, and can ride both with 
the same ease. (Laughter and applause.) 

The next thing that strikes me with considerable force is the statement that 
the Blaine (immense cheering, applause and waviug of banners, hats and hand- 
kerchiefs, again and again renewed) Reciprocity arrangement is a humbug. | A 
voice — "What's the matter with Blaine? ' Cries of "He's all right," and more 
cheering.) 

If you start in to cheer for all our magnificent leaders, you will stay here to- 
night." (Renewed cheering, applause and a voice, "Three 'more cheers for James 
G. Blaine;" prolonged cheering.) Let me propose three cheers for President 
Harrison ana James G. Blaine. (Continued: cheering.) I only want to say this, 
th t, with regard to that reciprocity treaty, there is not a Democrat alne who 
would not give his sword arm to have invented the "Reciprocity humbug. ' I Ap- 
plause ) The next thing that strikes me as worthy of comment, is this: "TvV 
congratulate the people of the State upon the beneficent results which fo lowed 
the election of a Democratic Assemoly last Autumn." (Derisive laughter. 
Permit me now to inquire as to what these "beneficent results were. (Derisiv. 
laughter and cries of "Good boy, give it to 'm Governor. » The first. I suppose, 
of these "beneficent results'' was the election of David B. Hill as United Stat, - 
Senator. Where is the "beneficence"' in that act. will you kindly tell me? (De- 
risive laughter.) Who was the beneficiary? (Cries of * 'Hill.") 'Are you quite 
clear? (Cries of "You bet we are." laughter and applause.) Was it not Hill an.. 
not the people who were the beneficiaries? It certainly gave him an opportunity 
of holding two offices for a short time. It says (meaning the Governor) that he is 
in full sympathy with the popular majority on great questions of Federal policy. 
I will defy any Democrat in the State to tell me David B. Hill's position on any 

treat question of Federal policy. (Applause.) He cannot state it because he 
as not any. (Renewed applause ) His idea is similiar to that of an old colored 
physician in Elmira. who used to advertise: "My theory is roots and yarbes and 
everything that's good.'" (Laughter.) 

GOVERNOR HILL'S PRINCIPLES. 

Governor Hill's notion on great questions of Federal policy I can epitomize, 
digest and revise in that great utterance of Li* at a Brooklyn dinuei : "I I 



32 The Republican Reference Book. 

Democrat." (Derisive laughter.) Now, that would mean here in New York one 
thing. But what would it mean out in Ohio ? ( Applause and laughter.) That 
would mean a bid for the colored vote at Saratoga. What, though, would it 
mean in Georgia? (Applause.) That would mean protection to American labor- 
in an industrial section. What would it mean where people are fond of Free 
Trade ? It would mean one thing if he were Mr. Mills ; it would mean another 
thing if he were Samuel Randall. It is indeed, therefore, as you see, difficult, if 
not impossible, to understand the utterance of a Democrat when he does utter 
anything worth thinking about on any of the great questions of Federal policy. 

But tins campaign does not necessitate our taking up questions of Federal 
policy (applause), for we shall have quite enough to do if we do all in our 
power to secure good government in this city and this State. (Applause.) We 
will take care ofthe Federal questions nextyear, (Renewed applause.) There 
are many Democrats in this State who want to shake hands for the sake of good 
government with the Republican party this fall who do not want to shake hands 
with us next fall. (Applause.) Though my hope and prayer is that when they 
have gone a short way in good company they will want to continue with us per- 
manently. (Renewea applause.) But one thing at a time. (Laughter.) State 
issues this fall and Federal issues in 1892. (Applause.) 

Now, then, let us see more aboutthese blessings. The next is: "It gave the State 
the lowest tax rate in thirty-six years." Now, I have heard a great deal about the 
Democrats giving us the lowest tax-rate for thirty-six years. A tax-rate depends 
upon several factors. First, the amount of property taxed, and second, the 
amount of money to be raised by taxation . The Democratic Assembly had bills 
appropriating one and a half or two million dollars which the Republican Senate 
refused to pass. Th.3 income to the State Treasury from outside sources largely 
depends upon three sources of revenue, one the Corporation tax law, which 
my friend, General James Wadsworth, was largely instmmental in putting into 
form and execution. And nobody ever accused him of being a Democrat, 
(Laughter.) He was not in the last Legislature anyway. (Renewed laughter.) 
The next , the collateral inheritance tax, which brings in one and a half or two 
millions a year. Next, the Direct Inheritance tax," from which we are not yet 
receiving much of an income. Now, no one of these laws came in any way, 
shape, or manner from the Democratic party. They came from the Republican 
party from bottom to top. (Applause.) But Governor Hill did suggest one law 
that brings in revenue. He suggested that notaries public pay a fee when they 

?[ualify, on receiving their commissions. (Derisive laughter.) The income 
rom all other tax laws is about $4,000,000 or $5,000,000 a year, whereas the in- 
come from this particular tax law which he suggested, is about $10,000 a year. 
(More laughter ) What, therefore, becomes of the boast that they have given us 
the least tax-rate in thirty -six years? Theplatform continues, "It gave New 
York City the means of securing Rapid Transit." Now, really are not these 
modest people too funny for anything? (Laughter.) The Rapid Transit law 
under whicn the present Rapid Transit Commissioners are working, is my bill, 
which the Democratic Assembly killed — no, I beg pardon — which Democratic 
votes in the Assembly killed a year ago, and the same bill, introduced by my 
friend, Senator Stewart, became a law last year. (Applause.) There is a long 
story about that, but time is getting limited. Once again I quote from the 
platform, k 'It gave the people the shortest legislative session in seventeen years." 
How superbly funny again are these Democrats ? (Laughter.) Why was it that 
it cave them the shortest legislative session in seventeen years ? Simply because 
the Senate was ready to adjourn a week before the Assembly was. (Roars of 
laughter.) 

SOMETHING THEY DID PA8S. 

The next thing on the programme is the bill which they passed, and for which 
they claim credit. This is what they say in their platform: "Our pledges to the 
people contained in the Democratic platform of 1887, 1888, and 1889 were prompt- 
ly redeemed by the Democratic Assembly. First, a bill to enumerate the inhab- 
itants of the State preparatory to a reapportionment of Senate and Assembly 
districts." There was a bill to enumerate the inhabitants of the State passed 
in the Assembly long after it was of any use to pass such a bill. In 1885, under 
the provisions of the constitution, a Republican Legislature passed an enumera- 
tion bill. It was a bill good enough for Samuel J. Tilden, but not good enough 
for David B. Hill. (Laughter.) So he vetoed it. Then at an extra session we 
passed it again, and he vetoed it. And so it rested until after that if we passed 
twenty bills they would be of no avail under the constitution. If, therefore, the 
blame for the non-enumeration of the inhabitants of this State at the proper time, 
as demanded by the constitution, is to be brought up in this campaign, lay it, I 
pray you, at the proper place, which is 'at the hands of David B. Hill. (Ap- 
plause.)

word I myself used at the time in order to stigmatize conduct at once brutal and 
unjust. (Applause.) 

ANOTHER FINE RECORD 

The next is as to the reapportioning of Congressional Districts. They did 
pass tlit- bill too late to pass upon it in the Senate, and in such a way that the 

I Districts were greater than the inequalities in 
b which they found so much fault, and yet they won- 
ay \\ e do not allow them t.> have their own way. 

a bill to provide for a Constitutional Convention. "Well, they 
is too late. We passed a bill Lu 168U, and they waited 
until 1891, and David B. Hiil had vetoed cur very proper bill in 1889, and now 
these p.* ntlemen are angry because we could not pass it over his veto then, and 
won't lei t -.tin have their own way now, and there is where the great trouble be- 
.orand ourselves has been, that he was bound to have his way, and 
the minority has been boui.d to have it their way. His way has been Tammany 
.Hall's way nine times outof ten. They have been making faces atus ever since 
and t lling wrong stories about us. They arelike children in other 

and when they could not have their own way they have taken 
their dolls and gone home and told their mothers what bad children the otheis 
Were. (Laughter.) That is the attitude that David B. Jdill and Tammauy Hall 
and the Democratic minority have occupied in reference to reform, and iu refer- 
ence to t'V. ry item of amrmati 1 • remedial legislation which we tried to get, and 
they would not allow us. (Applause.) 

HERE N ANOTHER BILL. 

Now we come to the bill to revise and consolidate the excise laws— a measure 
Intelligently and equitably framed, carefully regulating the sale of intoxicating 
liquors, prescribing just fees for licenses, and preserving all needed restrictions 
for the maintenance of order and the good of society. Now, excise legislation

cans do illustrate their hypocrisy. They make a promise and then keep it. 
(Applause.) It seems that no law should be treated in the way this has been, 
that no law should be open to perpetual assaults from those evilly disposed. 
They should not be open to political blackmail from any party. We promised in 
one of our platforms years ago, and agreed to submit such an amendment to the 
people, ana we have nad the Prohibition people fighting us ever since. They 
assaulted Warner Miller. They are all good people, out they wanted everything 
their way or they would not have it at all. However, with our hypocritical 
methods we went on, submitted the amendment, or tried to, made arrangements 
to put it to a special election while nothing else should intervene ; and the Gov- 
ernor desiring to rebuke such hypocrisy, vetoed it. (Laughter.) Yet he said it 
was because it would cost half a million of dollars. Did you ever know a Tam- 
many official to withhold his hand from giving a small thing like half a mil- 
lion? (Laughter.) 

REPUBLICANS DO THE WOBK. 

" In every plank the Republican party refuses to ameliorate the condition of 
wage earners. (Laughter.) I do not know what laws we failed to enact. I do 
know, with the exception of Labor Day and the Half -holiday bill, there has not 
been a measure of so much remedial force for the encouragement and protection 
of agriculture or any industrial pursuit, there has not been a bill for the protec- 
tion and guarding and cherishing of all those who labor — children, women and 
men — laboring classes — that has not been introduced by Republicans and passed 
in the last three years, to say nothing of the records of trade itself. (Applause ) 

But that is in the Tammany platform. That is an illustration of heterophomy. 
It means to say that the Republican party was striving to emancipate labor ; that 
every struggle we have made forward, every step we have taken onward to vin- 
dicate the everlasting dignity of labor ; they meant to say that Republicans have 
not always favored demagogues, they have always been the devoted servitors of 
labor ; it meant to say that not only in the State, but in every city in the Nation, 
Republicans are responsible for the legislation that makes the American laborer 
to-day the king of laboring men that he is. (Continued applause.) 

They meant to say, " We watched with envy the career of the Republican 
party ; we tried to warm up our own inspiration by following them and blowing 
a few of the embers of their inspiration into new flame, and we have made a 
most dismal failure ; we have made a little smoke and dust, and blinded our- 
selves with the ashes. " 

AN APT ILLUSTRATION. 

Now, do not tell the people they have done it all and we have done nothing. 
These platform-makers are like a man who when he strikes a match thinks he 
sets the whole world on fire, and when the light dies out he imagines the uni- 
verse is in darkness. This platform is an insult to the intelligence of the city of 
New York. (Continued applause. ) 

How has Tammany Half shown its subserviency to money ? There is not a 
word against trusts in their whole platform. What is the meaning of that ? It 
used to be there larger than a meeting-house. The Saratoga Convention hadn't 
any use for such planks. This platform was all timber taken out of Tammany 
Kail. Mr. Croker said that he preferred for subordinates rich candidates Is 
that an illustration ? (Laughter.) Perhaps that is an illustration of Tammany 
worshipping of moneyed interest— to cover the needs of manhood suffrage. 
And wno, then, has been fighting for manhood suffrage ? Whose blood eman- 
cipated manhood ? (A voice, 4 * Abraham Lincoln !' r followed by continued 
applause.) Kot only that, but in perfecting the ballot so that every man, north 
and south, in this State— for I am not going outside of the State boundaries 
to-night if I can help it — rich or poor, high or low, twenty-one years and 
upward, may vote as he pleases on election day with the least possible sub- 
jection to harrowing forces from any direction, either by purchase or pressure, 
in seeing to it that the voter might be certified to and identified to prevent 
fraud by duplication of vote. Every effort has been taken first by the Republican 
party, and every movement ha3 been resisted by all the power of Tammany 
Hail and their Tammany followers, I do not want to hurt anybody's feelings, 
but I must tell the trutn of history. You remember the struggle against the 
registration law in this city. You remember the struggle of ballot reform in 
the Legislature, and with the exception of those Democrats who joined the 
People's Municipal League for the Australian ballot reform, the Democrats 
opposed it at every step; and those gentlemen could not get into the Saratoga 
convention. And yet, if you please, they say that we have been covertly using 
our iutiuence against manhood suffrage. It indicates ita position to manhood 
by meddlesome interference with the efforts of the Republican party to advance 
manhood suffrage. Why did not the cowards mention who it struck? Why

dldn'1 'ions of the degeneration of investigation ? Why 

There were no such degenerations. (Prolonged applu>; 

WHAT TAMMANY DOESN'T LIKE. 

Of course what was known as the Cities Committee wag quite decidedly un- 
popular with Tammany Hall. I do not wonder at that, tmt there are other 
things. Was the Theodore Roosevelt investigation a legislative strike for patron- 
age f Let the Register's office and the Conntv Clerk's office and the other 
municipal offieei answer. Was the saving 0/ $2,000,000 by redeeming 
public works too expensive? Was the RlierifTs office revolutionized 
Register's office and the County Clerk's office revealed. Ludlow Street Jail ex- 

Eloited — were these legislative strikes? I do not wonder that these men 
ave been extortionate in legislative office have found it especially unpleasant. 
Well, the next thing is the arraignment of the Republican party and the can- 
didates of this party for an assassination performed upon the World s Fair 
project by Tammany." (Applause.) Now this World's Fair business AMD 
amuse and occupy the attention of the Democratic orators and press t 
extent. All 1 have to say is that I hope that they will confine themselves to 
that, and invite your attention to it, and every step in the history of U 
start to finish, and I want * 1 that if it were to be done all over again

They oppose special legislation. So 1 body. As to municipal control, 

they would not permit me to pass my bill for reform in New York. 

REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES. 

"We believe in low taxes and in economical administration." (Laughter^ 
They remind me of a very good man who said that his father and mother were 
church members, and he" himself believed in Christianity, but he had Dot 
practised it much. (Laughter.) Tammany Hall believes m 'low taxes ard 
an economical administration!'* For whom? Tor New York (.'in ? I; 
more to govern this city per capita than any other city of the same kiud in the 
world. let they believe in "low taxes." It was oiilv a year or two ego that 
Mayor Grant addressed this community on the Low Tax bill and vou believed 
Mm. The tax rate was low. but the extension in the valuation o f real estate 
and personal property was something like $119,000. 00j of money, and the actual 
expenditure in the city was the greatest in the history of the city (Laughter.) 
If I am not mistaken in my recollection, you had expeuded that yeir for all 
purposes $54,000,000, and yet you had the lowest tax r«te: but for the last three 
or four years they had been going up to the Legislatnre and seeming that inter- 
meddling legislation they find so much fault with us about; so that they could 
bind yoii and your children to pay for public improvements that would be won) 
out before your children ever see them. (Applause and laughter. 1 

It is cheaper to pay interest than to pay principal, and they have been ex- 
tending the valuation of property in the last five years in an' unprecedented 
manner— and you, good-naturedly, take it all. (Applause.) New York i* a 
wonderfully rich city. The wealth of all the ocean pours into her lap. The 
wealth of this mighty continent is centred here. There are more wealthy men 
and better fed men who live here than any where else ; and you can spend the

taxes and do not stop to think what you are coming to. Where has the economy 
"been shown ? In the County Clerk's' office, where you ;pay $700 a volume for a 
volume which is utterly worthless? As in the Register's office, purely a Tam- 
many Hall Department, where they had meu drawing pay in business outside 
and a saiaiy from the city; where they had men whose only business was to 
watch the safes that they should not run away 9 (Laughter.) 

Is it in the Street Cleaning Department? (Cries of "No, no.") Why, The 
Evening World and The Morning World, and The Telegram, and The Herald, and 
The Sun, and every other Democratic paper has been pounding a way and hammer- 
ing away all the summer, page after page, about the condition of Broadway and 
Third Avenue, and Twenty-third Street and other streets — giving stories about 
the sickening stenches that existed everywhere, stories about the fever and 
pestilenoe that stalk at noonday — speaking of the streets that were reeking, when 
it rained, with filth and which the winds lifted into showers of dust when they 
were dry — streets that make your citizens returning from Europe blush with 
shame and strangers turn pale with nausea at beholding ; streets for which 
more monej' is paid for cleaning than in any other city in the world with more 
miles of smooth pavement or cross streets than you ever had before, with Broad- 
way and Third Avenue utterly given up as against the street cleaners, with 
more private enterprise cleaning the streets than before, what has been the 
remedy? Poor Hans Beattie has been made the scapegoat and been sent out 
into th© wilderness and has had put in his place a man who, on the 27th of May, 
1889, was found to be unfit to be continued in office as a Commissioner of Char- 
ities. Now, Mr. Beattie is on the stand and answers a few questions. 

- Q. — What do you think you could keep this city clean for as a contractor, if 
you had a contract for ten years ? 

Mr. Beattie answers : "I wiQ undertake to clean the city with the present, 
appropriation if I had a contract for ten years." 

Q. — And to keep it clean under the most rigid supervision ? 

A.— Except that which involves the adoption of the so-called block-system, 
and keep it reasonably clean. 

Q. — Keep it cleaner than it is to-day? A.— Yes, sir. 

Q. — Keep it as clean as you have ever known it ? A. — Cleaner. 

HB WANTS MORE. 

And yet he asks for an additional trifle of— how much ? One hundred 
thousand dollars ! Yet with all these advantages in his favor what has he done ? 
Tammany Hall is in favor of an economical administration. 

I asked him why he could not do as a public officer what he did as a con- 
tractor. He shrugged his shoulder and left the answer to my imagination. 
(Laughter.) But if the newspapers do not misrepresent him, he has recently 
given the reason. He is said to have said, " There is no Republican in my de- 
partment." Well, I suspected as inueh from the condition of things, (Con- 
tinued laughter and applause.) 

'• There is not a County Democrat in my department." There were none but 
Simon pure, thoroughbred, out and out, bred in the bone, all wool and a yard 
wide Tammany men. f Laughter.) Not a Republican! They are good judges 
of dirt. They do not like to be too far from it. Did Mayor Grant say to Hans 
Beattie, "Sir, do as an official what you say you can do as a contractor, and we 
will keep you in ten years " ? Did he say : " Dismiss your political employes 
and adopt a proper method " ? Oh no ! Hans Beattie goes, Mr. Brennan comes, 
and Mr. Brennan will go, and others will come and go, but Tammany Hall goes 
on forever. (Laughter.) 

When you go down the street the next time look at the carts with no covers — 
look at the carts distributing dirt for Tammany boys to clean up again. 
(Laughter.) It cost more to clean the streets of snow last winter than so much 
sugar would have cost. (Laughter.) At least it took a great deal of sugar to 
clean it up. (Renewed laughter.) 

NO ECONOMY HERE. 

Low taxation and economic administration ! We have not seen it in any city 
or county where our friend the Democracy has been in power. 

But my time is more than up, and I am only about half through this platform. 
(Cries of "Go on ! There's time enough. Go on, Governor, go on ! Keep it up !"' 
and applause.) 

" We believe in low taxation and economic administration !" There is not a 
department in the city, I believe, if I am not mistaken, that has not increased 
in administrative expense since the Hon. Hugh J. Grant by your suffrages was 
permitted to become Mayor instead of Sheriff.

I will be sorry for the day when a Democrat cannot put on his glasses and say 
something in the platform about sumptuary legislation. (Laughter and ap- 
plause.; 

ANOTHER OF THBIR PLANKS. 

" We demand an extension of electoral reform with a view of preventing the 
profuse expenditure of money by candidates and political committees, but we 
resolutely oppose any effort to hamper or restrict the constitutional privilege of 
manhood suffrage." But yet Governor David B. Hill, in 18n8. allowed a very 
stringent bill to punish bribery to be introduced bv the Spesker, that died. Now 
Tamman}' people think they would like that bill oack again. They vetoed it 
three years ago. Now they go on here with a long plank about Ballot reform. 
I have already talc en that question up. Every step forward for the better 
method of voting has been opposed by the Tammany party in this State. 

• 4 We favor revision of tax laws whereby personal property should be made to 
bear its just burden." So do we. 

Everybody believes in having t hat will do justice to all. Evervbody 

believes that if your dollar bears a greater burden of taxation than my dollar 
you are outraged, and fust in proportion as any business or industry or any in- 
dividual is taxed higher than his neighbor, just in that ratio he is the victim of 
tyranny, and the tyranny should be opposed. It is simply like saving we all 
believe in perfect government. We are all striving to get it. but my Democratic 
friends have yet to make the first tangible contribution to secure the vote so de- 
sirable as stated in their platform. (Laughter.) 

"The interest of labor should be fostered by proper and necessary legislation. 
Honest workingmeu and workingwomeu should be protected from competition 
with convict labor." In 1883 the Democratic party was elected and promised to 
repeal the Convict Contract Labor Law. In 1883 they had the Governor and 
Senate and Assembly. What did they do to prevent the competition between 
the honest toiler and the convict? They referred the whole question back to 
the people, and in 1884 Senator Comstock, a Republican of Troy, fulfilled the 
Democratic promise. (Applause.) And in 1888 tne Republican Legislature put 
the present Prison bill upon the statute books, and any abuse of that bill has 
been made under Democratic administration. (Applause.*) 

Just one word and I am through. Our friends at Saratoga merely simplified the 
issue. It used to be we had to fight all sorts of Democrats — Jeffersonian , Jack- 
sonian, County Democracy. Irving Hall, Tammany Hall, Troy Democrats, Mc- 
Laughlin Democrats; but since Tammany has been seated on the throne, since 
she nas given the edict that all must bow the knee to her, we have only one to 
fight. The issue is Tammany Hall against the State. Now is the opportunity, 
if you are satisfied in averaging, by the record of the Democratic party when 
controlled by Tammany, that if unchecked the forces generated by her would 
make for destruction, would make for extravagance, would make for lavish ex- 
penditure, would lead to the prostitution of all the high offices of the State for 
purely personal purposes and the profit of Tammany Hall— then vote the Repub- 
lican ticket. (Continued applause.) 

HOW THE PEOPLE MUST DECIDE. 

If you believe that the promises and the platform of the Republican party not 
interpreted by malice and envious agents, not interpreted by opposition news 
papers and opposition parties, not interpreted by our friends, but interpreted bv 
the law of experience, bv the law and the manner in which we have fulfilled all 
our previous promises ; if you believe the forces which shall emanate from the 
Republican party in power' will do more to give you clean streets and wholesome 
government here ; will do more to give you an nones t Reform Ballot law, will do 
more to give you genuine home rule in the cities, will do more to lift up the con- 
dition of the agricultural and industrial classes, will do more to protect the hon- 
est laborer from improper competition, ither from without the prison or within, 
than any other party to whom you can give your votes, with hopes of success — 
then again and again I say as citizens of this great State as citizens of this proud 
State, as patriots, loving your country more than you do the discarded traditions 
— if you be Democrats of the old line Democracy that was trampled under foot at 



38 The Republican Reference Book. 

Saratoga — then I say, by every impulse that beats in the American heart, by 
every association that looks to a higher condition in government and life, 
stand by the party that stands by the best and strongest under the most honest 
kind of scrutiny. (Long continued applause and enthusiastic cheering.) 

Mr. Vrooman's Reception at Home. 

On his return to Herkimer from the State Convention John W. Yrooman, the 
nomine© for Lieutenant-Governor, received an ovation from his fellow-townsmen 
in which all participated without distinction of party. He was welcomed by a 
Committee in an address expressing the esteem for him felt by his neighbors, 
and their pride in his career. In reply Mr. Yroomau spoke as follows : 

MR. VROOMAN'S SPEECH. 

This cordial and spontaneous welcome, my beloved friends and neighbors, 
gives me greater satisfaction than a thousand* formal elections to any office. It 
inspires me with the deepest emotion and recalls scenes of other days. About 
twenty years ago I left the farm on yonder hillside to become a resident of Her- 
kimer and engage in the battle of life. I came to you a stranger — without the 
favor of friends or fortune. The struggles and vicissitudes of my life are to you 
an open book. Whatever favor has been shown me I have much to thank you 
for. "Without your loyal support and love, always exhibited, I should have 
failed. I come to you to-night as to the members of my own family, to acknowl- 
edge all that you have done for me in the past and to bespeak your kindness and 
forbearance in the future. The labor and excitement of the past few days have 
weakened me in body, and yet if I were physically able to utter them", words 
would be too feeble xo express my feelings of gratitude on this occasion. 

The unanimous nomination to this high office was entirely unsought by me. 
Whatever honor attaches to it or may result from it I bring here to share it with 
you. Two years ago at Saratoga the Republican party asked me to head the 
ticket. I declined. Yesterday the demand came, not only from my friends, but 
from all factions, and I felt it my duty to accept, although it will involve more 
labor and care than I wish to undertake. When I retired from the office which 
I held in the Senate, I expected to free myself from the cares of political life and 
devote my energies to much neglected private affairs, but this call to duty I 
could not ignore. My friends have been so kind beyond my deserts that I felt I 
could not further deny my name being placed on the ticket if it could be of ser- 
vice to the party that nas so favored me. 

I am not here to make a speech, nor would I take advantage of the occasion 
to refer to political matters, as I am honored with the presence and attention of 
my neighbors without distinction of party, I want to say, however, that at the 
head of the ticket nominated at Rochester is the most brilliant and remarkable 
man in the State of INew York to-day of his years. I never admired any act of 
1£t. Fassett's many admirable deeds as I did when, last evening, seizing the first 
opportunity, he called me to his room and upon a sheet of paper which happened 
to be at hand he penned his resignation of the Collectorship of the Port of New 
York. It means something to yield up such an office, bringing with it more of 
political power and emolument than could possibly come from any other position 
m the State. 

Among the other names on the ticket, all young men, you will find none who 
were reared in the lap of luxury ; they are typical men, and represent what any 

foung man of energy and determination may accomplish in this favored land, 
want to say to my young friends here assembled that it is not fame or fortune 
or noble birth, but what you develop in yourselves, that makes true greatness, 
that gives birth to great achievements. ' I thank God I am an American citizen 
and live in this age and in this republic. Here there are no distinctions; the 
lowliest can become the highest. Such a government is worth preserving ; and 
I say to my friends of every political faith that whatever ticket you may vote, 
vote intelligently and for the purpose of preserving such a government. 

I am glad you gave me this welcome. I shall not forget it. If elected I will, 
with thelielp of Almighty God, so discharge the duties that may devolve upon 
me that you will not regret this welcome. Thanking you again for your distin- 
guished courtesies, Ibid you good night.

PLATFORM. 

The Democratic party of the State of New York, in Convention assembled, 
renews the pledges of its fidelity to Democratic faith, and as regards National 
issues, reaffirms the doctrines of the National platforms of 1884 and 1888, indorsed 
by the popular votes of these years, and so overwhelmingly ratified by the popu- 
lar verdict in the Congressional elections of 1890. 

We now, as then, steadfastly adhere to principles of sound finance. We are 
against the coinage of any dollar which is not* of the intrinsic value of any other 
dollar of the United States. We, therefore, denounce the new Sherman silver 
law, under which one-tenth of our gold stock has been exported and all our sil- 
ver output is dammed up at home, as a false pretense but artful hindrance of a 
return to free bi-metallic coinage, and as tending only to produce a change from 
one kind of mono-metallism to another. We, therefore, unite with the friends of 
honest money everywhere in stigmatizing the Sherman progressive silver basis 
law as no solution of the gold and silver question, and as a fifc appendix to the 
subsidy and bounty swindle, the McKiniey worse-than-war tariff, the Blaine 
reciprocity humbug, the squandered surplus,' the advancing deficit, the defective 
census, the falsified representation and the revolutionary procedures of the bill- 
ion-dollar Congress — all justly condemned by the people's great uprising last 
November, a verdict which, renewed next year, will empower Democratic states- 
men to guide the people's councils and to execute the people's will. 

2. We congratulate the people of the State upon the beneficent results which 
followed the election of a Democratic Assembly last Autumn . 

That victory secured the election of a Democrat to the United States Senate — 
a representative in full sympathy with the popular majority on great questions 
of Federal policy. It gave the State the lowest tax rate in thirty-six years, and 
for the first time in a generation freedom from taxation for the general purposes 
of government. 

It gave New York City the means of securing rapid transit a boon which 
Republican legislators had for years denied. It gave the people the shortest 
legislative session in seventeen years, a tribute to the faithful industry of the 
Democratic Assembly, by whom this result was achieved in the interest 'of econ- 
omy and good legislation. 

Oar pledges to the people in the Democratic platform of 1887, 1888 and 1889 
were promptly redeemed by the Democratic Assembly in the passage of the 
following measures : 

1. A bill to enumerate the inhabitants of the State preparatory to a reap- 
portionment of Senate and Assembly districts. 

2. A bill to reapportion the Congressional districts in pursuance of the Feder- 
al statute and upon the basis of the recent Federal Census. 

3. A bill to provide for a Constitutional Convention in accordance with the 
wish of the people as declared by a large majority at the polls in 1886. 

4. A bill to revise and consolidate the excise laws — i measure, intelligently 
and equitably framed, carefully regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors, pre- 
scribing just fees for licenses and preserving ail needed restrictions for the 
maintenance of order and the good of society. 

5. Several bills to ameliorate the condition of agriculture and labor and to 
lessen the burden of direct taxation. 

All these measures, passed by the Democratic Assembly in obedience to the 
demand of the popular majority, were defeated in the Republican Senate by the 
representatives of the minority of the people. 

Thus has the Republican party continued to betray the people's interests. It 
defies the Constitution find denies fair representation in the Legislature to 1,300,- 
000 new inhabitants of the State by refusing to pass an enumeration bill — the 
preliminary step to the abolition of the present antiquated apportionment of 
Senate and A?semblv districts which is based on the census of sixteen years ago, 

It not only conspired with the Federal Census Bureau to deprive the State of 
an additional representative in Congress and the Electoral College by the fraudu*

lent count of tbt» inhabitants of New York, but it refuses to comply with the 
command of its own Federal Congress to rearrange the thirty-four Congress dis- 
tricts of the State, so that each ehall contain '• as nearly as'practicable an equal 
number of inhabitants." 

It ignores the emphatic declaration of the people, who,by a plurality of 328,000 
votes, recorded themselves in favor of a constitutional convention. 

It insists upon the passage of sumptuary laws, which needlessly interfere 
with the personal libertv of law-abiding citizens. 

It demonstrates the nypocrisy of its profession by twice recording itself in 
the Lejfislature in favor of a prohibition amendment," and then refusing to make 
provision for its submission to the people except at a special election not desired 
by Prohibitionists and at an unnecessary expense of over $000,000 to the tax- 
payers. 

It refuses to ameliorate the conditions of wage-earners by enacting just and 
conservative laws In their inter 

It shows its subserviency to the moneyed interests by ignoring the demands 
of the agricultural and working classes for reforms in methods of taxation. 

It covertly lends its influence to the restriction of manhood suffrage. 

It indicates its hostility to hornu rule by its effort at meddlesome legislative 
Interference with the affairs of large cities. 

It encourages expensive legislative investigating committees, whose investi- 
gations degenerate into strikes for political patronage upon the official an 
ties of Democratic municipalities. 

It inflicted a hostile blow upon the best welfare and prosperity ei 
by depriving Now York of the World's Fair because the Republican leader 
could not control its Board of Directors. 

Bv that aet New York was deprived of the benefit of the expenditon 
hundreds of millions of dollars within her borders. By that act interei 
every wage earner, every merchant, every farmer, every manufacturer, i 
householder, every artisan, every railroad and transportation company were 
cruelly sacrificed. 

The people will not forget that tho most conspicuous agent in this partisan 
crime in now the candidate of his party for Governor. 

Against that record of misrepresentation and betrayal the Democratic party 
most earnestly protests. 

We reaffirm the principles and pledges contained in our State platform of 1889 
andpreceding years. 

We oppose needless special legislation. 

We favor homo rule for couuties and municinalitios. 

We believe in low taxes and in economical administration. 

We demand a revision of the various confused statutes regulating the sal 
intoxicating liquors and the enactment of a just, equitable and comprehensive 
Excise law framed in accordance with existing public sentiment as repeatedly 
manifested. 

We believe that all revenues, whether called license fees or taxes, should 
belong to the treasuries of the localities under whose authoiity licenses are 
issued, to be applied in reducing the burden of local taxation 

We are opposed to all sumptuary legislation that needlessly interferes with 
the personal liberty or reasonable customs of the people. We favor the lai 
liberty for the individual citizen consistent with the public welfare. 

We demand an extension of electoral reform, with a view to prevent the pro- 
fuse expenditure of money by candidates and political committees, but we reso- 
lutely oppose any effort to hamper or restrict the constitutional privileges of 
manhood suffrage. 

And we congratulate the people of the State that by the persistent efforts of a 
Democratic Governor, sustained by the Democrats in the Legislature, in defense 
of this principle, there has at last been wrested from a Republican Legislature by 
force or public sentiment a genuine electoral reform law, which guarantees an 
absolutely secret ballot, which prevents intimidation and corruption, which 
reserves for workin^men the right to two hours on election day in which to vote 
without loss of pay tor time consumed, which largely diminishes the opportuni- 
ties of candidates to expend money illegitimately, 'which prescribes a careful 
system of registration of electors, Vhich imposes heavy penalties for corrupt 

Eractices in elections, and which preserves inviolable to every citizen, however 
umble or unlettered he may be, the right to cast his ballot "for whomsoever he 
may choose for any office within the gift of the people. 

We favor a revision of the tax laws whereby personal and corporate property 
shall be made to bear its full and just burdens. 

We favor a continuance of the policy which seeks to improve the canal sys- 
tem of the State and maintain its efficiency. 

The interests of labor should be fostered by proper and necessary legislation. 



42 The Republic ax Reference Book. 

Honest workingmen and workingwonien should be protected from competition 
witk oonvict labor. 

The Republican party, having had control of the Legislature almost contin- 
uously for many years, has withheld the neoessary legislation required to 
adequately aooomphah such purposes ; and in this connection we denounce the 
failure of the Republicans last Winter to enact the so-called Riley bill, desired 
by the workin gnien of the State, which had passed the Democratic Assembly, 
and had for its object the further restriction of convict labor competition. 

We favor legislative provision for a proper exhibit from this State at the 
World's Columbian Exposition, to be held in Chicago in 1898, and we especially 
commend the measure to secure that object which was passed by the Democratic 
Assembly last Spring, but which a Republican Senate, with surprising reluc- 
tance, after its successful efforts to locate the Fair in Chieago, refused to enact. 

This country has always been the refuge of the oppressed from every land — 
exiles for conscience' sake — and in the spirit of the founders of our Government 
we condemn the oppression and expatriation practiced by the Russian Govern- 
ment upon its Jewish citizens, and we call upon our JSTational Government in the 
interest of justice and humanity, by all just and proper means, to use its prompt 
and best efforts to bring about a cessation of these cruel persecutions in the 
dominions of the Czar and to secure to the oppressed equal rights. 

We heartily indorse the able and statesmanlike administration of Governor 
D. B. Hill during hi3 seven years as Chief Executive of the State. He has reso- 
lutely maintained the principles of the Democratic party, and has faithfully 
contended for the interests of the people. He has ably resisted the aggressions 
of successive Republican Legislatures whose object has been only partisan 
advantage, and he has been a firm and unrelenting foe to vicious and corrupt leg- 
islation. 

In his administration of State affairs he has received the intelligent and com- 
scientious co-operation of his Democratic associates in the State departments. 
Their joint efforts have put th© State practically out of debt and left a generous 
surplus in the treasury. Efficiency and economy have marked their official 
records. 

We respectfully submit that this faithful discharge of responsibility justifies 
a continuance of the trust imposed on the Democratic party, of which they have 
been true representatives,

PLATFORM. 

The Prohibition party of the State of Xew York, in Convention assembled, 
Lge allegiance to Almighty God as Governor of the nation, and ra- 
afflrmingthe principles contained in the platform of thepai »pted in its 

National Convention in 1888, hereby declare: 

vrti — That the record of the licensed liquor traffic In this S< ation 

rods the continned existence ofi party pledged to its entire suppres si on. 

Second — That license whether high, or low, of the traffic in alcoholic D€ 
icons in theory and has proved in practice ineffectual t<> destr 
check intemperance or to lessen the evils resulting therefrom, and we demand 
the repeal of all laws legalizing the traffic and the substitution in their place of 
tot il legal prohibition. 

Third— The failure of the Legislature to comply with the requirement of the 
Constitution to provide for submission to the voters of the * tfl of the prohi- 
bitory amendment has again demon s trated that both Democratic and Republican 
legislators are subject to the control and domination of the liquor interest, and 
that they and the party which they represent are unworthy of support. 

n-'th— That, we d« nounce as a prostitution of tl I vernment 

tho action of the National Administration in attempting, through the Depart- 
ment of State, to foster American breweries by special appropriation of the 
people's money for the purpose of extending the" business or drunkard-making 
nto our sister republics oi South Amerioa. And we view with unutterable 
shame the failure of the Un re to ratify the Brussels treaty pro- 

viding for the mitigation of tho ravages of the liquor v affloin Africa. 

Fifth — That the interests of the Nation demand that so long as the tariff shall 
exist the adjustment of it- details shall be removed from the arena of par 
politics and placed in the hands of a non-partisau commission. Such a commis- 
sion should so adjust details of the schedules that the sura total of import duties 
shall not exceed {he revenue requirements of the Government, and the duti. I 
levied on imported articles of manufacture shall be no higher than are no 
sary to restore to the home manufacturer whatever equality of conditions he 
may have lost by reason of tho payment of a higher scale of wages in their 
production. 

Sixth — That the right of suffrage rests on no mere circumstance of race, 
color, or sex, and we favor the submission to the people of the State of a con- 
stitutional amendment Striking oat the word "male"' in the section prescribing 
the qualification of voters. 

•nth— That the issuing of a national currency belongs to the sovereign power 
alone, and should not be delegated to private individuals or corporations. TV e 
fa voi- the issue of legal tender Treasury notes, redeemable in gold or silrsr, and 
the maintenance of a metal reserve sufficient for that purpose. 

Eighth — That the civil service laws should be strictly and honestly enforced 
to the end that fitness and not party service should control in all appointments 
to office. 

Ninth— That the suppression of the liquor traffic is the dominant political 
issue in nation and State, and we appeal to all voters to join us in an heroic 
endeavor to dethrone, the political rum power now dragging at its chariot wheels 
the two great prostituted parties of our land, and to destroy forever its influence 
in the nation. 

SOCIALIST STATE TICKET. 

For Governor, Daniel De Leon, of Xew York ; for Lieutenant-Governor, 
Frank Gesser, of Utica ; for Secretary of State, Frederick Bennetts, of Yonkers ; 
for State Troasurer, James Withers, of Brooklyn ; for State Comptroller, H. 
Yitalius, of Troy; for Attorney General, II. G. Wilshire. of Xew York; for 
State Engineer and Surveyor, Charles "Wilson, of New York. 

PLATFORM. 

The Socialist Labor party of the State of New York and affiliated organira* 
tions of labor, in Convention assembled, do hereby renew their allegiance to the 
principles expressed in the national platform of the party as adopted at Chicago, 
on October 12, 1S89 ; and 



44 The Republican Reference Book. 

Whereas, The toleration by the Executive of the Pinkerton outrages against 
the New York Central strikers ; the prostitution of the Judiciary and of the 
District- Attorney's offices to purposes of persecution of representatives of or- 
ganized labor, as exemplified in the recent cases of the Rochester clothing cut- 
ters and shoemakers, the New York cloak-makers, the Binghamton cigar- 
makers, the New York bricklayers' walking delegates ; the conduct of the police 
and Sheriffs in arresting innocent workingmen without warrant of law and in 
connivance with employers of labor for purposes of intimidation ; together with 
other numerous instances of daily occurrence, are glaring object lessons that 
demonstrate the ruling political parties, Democratic and Republican, to bo 
equally the agents of monopoly, and their so-called public officials, executive, 
legislature and judiciary, to be merely outposts and pickets of the capitalist 
class ; therefore, be it 

Resolved, That the class of the wealth producers are entirely at the mercy of 
their exploiters, and will continue to be so, unable even to cany on their econo- 
mic struggle, unless by a mighty political uprising they destroy monopoly's 
political engine of oppression; and 

Whereas, The experiences of the past have shown that all attempts at estab- 
lishing a political party of labor will prove abortive unless directed by the light 
of sound nistoric and economic principles; therefore, be it 

Resolved, That we appeal to the wage-workers and exploited citizens of the 
State, who in fact are tfie people, to rally with us under the banner of the Social- 
ist Labor party in order to bring about their final emancipation from class rule, 
and the establishment of the Co-operative Commonwealth ; and in the meantime, 
for their immediate relief, to secure the following reform measures : 

1. The abolition of the murderous Pinkerton system. 

2. The abolition of the one-sided conspiracy and boycott laws. 

3. The enactment and enforcement of factory laws, rendering it a penal of- 
fense to employ any person for a period of more than eight consecutive hours 
per day, or to employ at all any child under 16 years of age, in any factory or 
shop whatsoever. 

4. The enactment of adequate public school laws, and the restoration to the 
public school fund of the vast domains within the State now wrongfully with- 
held from that fund by corporations for private use. 

5. The State ownership of all industries within her borders which have 
already ripened into monopolies and which, as shown by the signal failure of 
the late prosecution of the sugar trusts, cannot be destroyed by any possible 
anti-trust legislation. 

6. The State ownership of the Adirondack forests, and of such other por- 
tions of the State territory, whose preservation and management is requisite for 
the public welfare; of her railroads, which constitute her highways, and of her 
express, telephone and telegraph lines, etc. ; and the simultaneous establish- 
ment of thorough -going civil service or administrative rules whereby those 
operating these industries shall be guaranteed a permanency of occupation . dur- 
ing good behavior, together with a sufficient retiring allowance for old age, and 
thereby be left free from servitude to political bosses.

United States three years next preceding hij twenty -first birthday, and has con- 
tinned to reside therein up to the time he makes application to be admitted a cit- 
izen, ma\ , after ho arrives at the aire of twenty-one, and after he has resided five

corded to native-born citizens.''

their intenti >us enjoy the right to vote equally with naturalized or native-born 
citizens. But the Federal naturalization laws apply to the whole Union alike, 
and no alien may be naturalized until after rive years 1 residence, except an hon- 
orably discharged soldier, or a person whose parents have been naturalized while 
he was under twenty-one years of age, as above recited. Even after five years' 
residence and due naturalization he is not entitled to vote unless the laws of the

such list as it then is, is a true and correct list of all persons qualified to vote 
at such election in such district, who have personally appeared before the 
board and have requested to have their names placed thereon ; and elsewhere, 
and for special elections in cities, it shall bo to the effect that it is a t.ueand 
correct list of all persons qualified to vote at the next election in such district 
whose names the board is required by law to place tl.ereon. Such li.-t, so 
certified, shall remain in the custody of the chairman of the board until the 
close of the polls on election day. At each meeting of the boatd, or- during

copies to be delivered to the board of registry of such new election district at 
the opening of its first meeting. The just and reasonable value of the services 
of such clerk in making such certified copies shall be a charge upon the town or

election district outside of a city, at its first meeting, or, in a citv, at its first 
meeting for a special election, shall place upon the list of voters all persons 
whose names are upon such copies who are qualified to vote in such election dis-

SCHEDULES. 

THE NEW ELECTION DISTRICTS. 

A revision of election districts in New York City has come to be of annual 
occurrence. Prior to the year 1888 the law provided that where for two years 
consecutively the total registration in any of the existing election districts of 
New York exceeded four hundred, the Police Commissioners were empowered to 
divide each district in two. This provision well served the convenience of 
the voters and it left the other districts intact as before. The new ballot law 
substituted for this an entirely new plan whereby tho chief of the Bureau of 
Elections was compelled last year to make a complete revision of the city and, 
irrespective of geographical claim, to so divide the districts, that each would 
have a total vote of :i00 as near as that vote could b3 computed in advauce. Ope 
result of this change is that not over ten men in the city can tell the number of 
the election district in which they reside at present. 

Another result was that instead of each election district including a square 
block or several square blocks, diagonal lines were run, separating the districts 
in such fashion that a resident of a house might have to vote at one polling 
place and the resident of the house next door at another polling place, perhaps 
some distance away. This fully complied with the law, bttl it imposed serious 
annoyance upon many electors, as residents of a sparsely populated part of town 
were compelled to travel longer distances than before tbvote. Where the vote 
in a closely compacted district was more than 300 last year the duty of the Elec- 
tion Bureau required the chopping off of a sufficient number of houses to bring 
the district within the limits, at the same time adding the residents of the 
houses so chopped off to another district. 

The last legislature in a progressive spirit raised the number of voters nec- 
essary for an election district to 400. The Board of Police later brought down 
the number to 340. On that basis the city has been reapportioned. This causes 
no end of annoyance to voters who have this year again not only the boundaries 
but also the number of their electio \ districts changed, ihis causes also 
changes in polling places and registration places as well. Where the population 
is scattered, the districts have been enlarged to get to the 340 limit. Incident- 
ally the number of polling places in the lower part of the city had to be cut 
down. Last year under the new law the number of districts in the First was cut 



IOC? The Republican Reference Book. 

down to 24. This year there is a further cut of 5, leaving only 19 polling places 
in this district, covering over 500 acres. 

The revision of the districts last year under the law cost the people of this 
city $38,000. The hill for this year's supplementary revision is not yet in. 

OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK CITY. 

In other parts of the State the law forces rodisfcricting also. In one way 
there is an advantage, in the reduction of the number of inspectors and ballot 
clerks required, thus decreasing the expenses of election. In towns the officers 
charged with the apportionment of election districts are the supervisors, the 
assessors and the town clerk. In cities the division is usually made by the com- 
mon council, except New York and Brooklyn, where their present election laws 
govern. In New York and Brooklyn inspectors of election must be in office and 
qualified beforo Tuesday, October 6; all other cities before Saturday, October 3; 
ail other localities before Saturday, October 17. Polling places must be selected 
on the first Monday in September.

March, 1893, after the Presidential election, provides for a House of 356 Repre- 
sentatives, being an increase of 24 over the present number. No State will lose 
a member. New York will continue with its present representation. The States 
whose membership in the House will be augmented, are as follows: Alabama,

of the 24 new members. The South, counting Missouri as a Southern State, gets 
6, while the remainder is distributed among Pennsylvania. New Jersey and 
Massachusetts. The representation of the Northern States is therefore increased 
by 18. The Electoral College is augmented by 24 new members, giving that 
body a membership of 444, making 223 votes necessary for election. The present 
number, counting in the five new States, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, North and 
South Dakota, is 420. This is increased by 24 under the new bill. The new 
members are from the same States as the new representatives.

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN LEAGUE. 

Headquarters, 202 Fifth Avenue, 1ST. Y. 

NATIONAL OFFICERS FOR 1891. 

James S. Clarkson, President. Phineas C. Lounsberry, Treasurer. 

Andrew B. Humphrey, Secretary. Timothy E. Byrnes, National Organizer. 

J. A. Blanchard, Ch. Sub. Ex. Coin. 

In February, 1885, the Executive Committee of the Republican Club, of the 
city of New York, after considering the best methods of avoiding in the future 
such a defeat as had just been suffered by the party in the National election, 
recommended, and the Club appointed a committee to organize permanent clubs 
in the State of New York, and to correspond with all similar organizations that 
could be found in other parts of the country. This committee was continued 
until 1887, when it formulated the League idea. After a vast amount of corre- 
spondence with leading Republicans in every State, the Club sent ou an invita- 
tion to every club, the address of which could be ascertained, inviting: their co- 
operation in a National Convention. Over two hundred favorable responses were 
received, and thereupon the convention was called to meet in Chickering Hall, 
New York, December 15th, 16th and 17th, 1887. 

A NOTABLE ASSEMBLY. 

This convention was one of the most remarkable gatherings of Republicans*, 
ever held in New York. Representative members and leaders of the party were 
present from almost every State and Territory. About three hundred and fifty 
clubs sent delegates. The hall was packed each day. The enthusiasm was 
unbounded. Never was a movement started under more favorable auspices. It 
was the first grand expression of that revival of Republicanism which swept ail 
before it in the subsequent election. Daniel J. Ryan, now Secretary of the State 
of Ohio, presided temporarily. He was the president of the Ohio League, which 
was then fully organized and at work. Senator Evarta was chosen permanent chair- 
man. A constitution was adopted, and the new League formed. It is needless 
to dwell upon the work done by the League during the campaign, of the thous- 
ands of clubs it organized in all parts of the Union, of the close Congressional 
districts it won, and of the States it saved — all this is too well known to require 
any extended comment. The Republican party leaders admit that without the 
League the party would have been beaten, a statement that is warmly indorsed 
by the present chairman of the Democratic National Committee, who has de- 
clared again and again in private that "the Clubs did it." 

OBJECTS. 

The primary object of the League is the organization of permanent Republi- 
can clubs in every State, county, city, town and school district where it is pos- 
sible to perfect a Republican organization. It is particularly desirable that it 
should be thoroughly understood that this organization is not to seek, or in any 
manner to promote, the interests of any candidates prior to their nomination by 
the regular party conventions. 

The first object to keep in mind is thorough and complete party organization 
upon a broad, fair and liberal basis, which will bring into the ranks of the party 
all Republicans who may Tvish to become identified with it. It is particularly 
desirable that special efforts should be made to enlist the young men just entering 
upon their first political duties, and men who have hitherto been more or less 
indifferent to the management of political affairs. ' 

Campaign clubs and legitimate campaign work are not to be disparaged— they 
are essential and most important in their proper place; but it is an error to sup- 
pose that mere enthusiasm is sufficient to produce the discipline and organization 
required to develop the full power of the party. The ideal Republican club is an 
organization that maintains its activity throughout the year, and every year. 
Its primary object should be to enroll among its members all good Republicans 
within its territorial limits. It should hold a meeting at least once a month, at 
which a paper on some political subject should be read by a member or invited 
gueot, or some living question discussed. It should provide a comfortable club- 
house or headquarters, open every evening, where the members may meet in 
political and social intercourse. It should found a political library and furnish 
the club-room with the current political literature of the day. as found in the 
party newspapers and the magazines. It shouldjsee that every Republican voter 
discharges his duty on registration and election days. 

The League organization is not to interfere with the regular party machinery, 
but to supplement its work as auxiliaries. The League believea that the general

organization of the party into local clubs will afford the whole people an oppor- 
tunity to participate in the counsels of the party and to have a voice in shaping 
its policy. It connect* the people with the party by commencing with th" indi- 
vidual, and brings Republicanism back to the original New England town-meet- 
ing plan where every citizen had a personal interest, voice and influence The 
Republican party is the peoples party, and, has always been their champion fur 
human liberty and industrial progress. 

This brief outline of organization and work must satisfy thoughtful minds 
that with this system thoroughly carried out in all the States, and with the State 
Leagues under the control of the National League, the working power of tin- 
Republican party will be placed upon a basis of great effich I the 
political machinery thus provided, every part of the country will be made a 
ible for united anof well-directed work. 

The foregoing is a mere outline. The local work to be accomplished will be 
best determined Dy the local clubs. 

NATIONAL LEAGUE CONVENTION- 

Chickering Hell. New York, December 15th— 17th. 1887. Baltimore, Mary- 
land, February 28th— March 1st, 1889. Nashville, Tennessee. March 4th— 5th, 
1890. Cincinnati, Ohio. April 21st - 22d, 1891. 

The next National League Convention will be held in 189 '. about a month 
after the regular Republican National Convention has nominated a candidate 
for the Presidency. The exact time and place will be fixed by the National 
League Executive Commit; 

Under the revised constitution of the National League the convention will be 
composed of 1,019 delegates. Article VI. reads as foil 

" The National Convention shall be composed of two dele.: itcs-at -large from 
each State organization in the League, and of two delegates from eae 
sioual District, in which there shall be one or more pennant w\ Republican < 
together with the President and Secretary of each State Leaga . and all officers 
of the National Organization, who shall be ex-ojlcio delega b delegate 

present shall be entitled to one vote." 

The officers of the National Organization Wl I the States are one 

Vice-President and one member of the Executive Committee from each State; 
these, with the State League President and Secretary, make four < x-ufici<> dele- 

f fates from each State Each State Organization is entitle! to two *d- 
arge." These six delegates are practically State delegates in addition to the 
two from each Congressional District. 

If the Convention allows representation according to the new Congressional 
apportionment, the various Stale and Territorial as [including Ik 

State delegates) would be composed as folio -v?:

established at once, and that the rooms be accessible to the members during the 
day and evening. 

2. Make the club-rooms the centre of political activity in the neighborhood, 
and the common school where the voter can receive his political education. 

3. Make the policy of the club so broad that every Republican can work un- 
der it. Keep out of " isms'' and stand on the great cardinal principles of the 
party. 

4. Invite to membership every person who sympathizes with the Republican 
party, and who intends to support its candidates. 

5. See that every Republican in the vicinity ioins the club. 

6. Have regular meetings of the club, at least once a month. 

7. The officers should see that au interesting programme of work is prepared 
for every meeting. This is essential to the existence of the club. 

8. The club should never be made subservient to the interests of any indi- 
vidual. 

9. The club should never indorse or recommend a candidate for office until 
after he is nominated by the regular party convention. 

10. The individual member should exercise his right to a voice in the 
party's councils at the party caucus or primary — the foundation stone of our 
political institutions. 

11. At each meeting, in addition to addresses by prominent visitors, have 
some member prepare a political paper to be read, or an address, after which ass. 
the members to talk upon it. 

12. Invite the fullest and freest discussion on Republican lines of all political 
subjects, as discussions of this character strengthen the party. 

13. Permit every member to have his say. Free speech is one of the cardinal 
principles of the Republican party. 

14. Supply the club-room with the best political literature. 

15. See that every member takes and reads at least one Republican newspaper; 
especially stimulate the circulation of your local party papers. 

16. Avoid running into debt. Keep expenses below receipts. Run your club 
on business principles. 

17. Join the State League and have your club fully represented at all League 
Conventions. 

18. Communicate freely with the State League, reporting your work in detail 
for the benefit of the League and other clubs. 

19. Let the State League know what reading matter you want. 

20. Give the young men full share of the active, organizing, recruiting, rally- 
ing campaigning work. 

O— Work outside the club— 1. Permit no conflicts to arise between your club 
and other organizations of the Republican party. 

2. Co-operate with all other Republican committees in strengthening the 
party. 



The Republican Reference Book. 117 

3. Where clubs are not organized in adjoining towns and districts, see that 
organizations similar to your own are perfected. 

4. See that all Republicans attend the caucus and primary meetings. 

5. See that every Republican in your district is registered. 

6. See that every Republican votes early on election day. 

7. Your club does uot take the place of, but is auxiliary to, the regular com- 
mittees of the party. 

SUGGESTIONS. 

The life of every club depends upon the personal interest taken in its work by 
individuals, and it is always well to divide the labor and make somebody re- 
sponsible for each branch of it. There is work enough for everybody, and 
each member will feel his proprietary interest in the club in proportion to the 
work he does. Interest the Republican women of your locality in your club. 
They will be valuable auxiliarv members in getting iip entertainments' and mak- 
ing the social features of the club attractive and popular. 

Every club should provide special committees to do specific work as occasion 
and the needs of the locality i squire. The following lines of work are suggested 
as some of the things a club can do through special committees: 

Finance, Republican Primary Elec- Registry for General Elec- 

Increasing Membership, tions, tion, 

Politic*] A flairs, Glee Clubs, Work on Election Days. 

National Holiday Celebra- Festivals, Naturalization of New Cit- 

tion*, Picnics, icons,

INACCURATE ELECTION REPORTS. 

Impatient partisans frequently comment with greater or less severity upon 
the inability ol* tin.- newspapers to furnish accurate and full election returns 
from all parts of the State upon the morning after election. Faulty estimates 
and scant returns from the back districts upon the night of election day are the 
rule and not the exception. The errors cone from the fact that it is a common 
tiling for an enthusiastic chairman of a partisan county committee to telegraph 
his own estimates Instead Df the actual returns. This Jeads to endless confusion 
- it often impossible to gather exact returns from the different counties 
from which t'l estimate tin- majorities of the different candidates from the 
whole Stat*-. 

Returns come in slowly from counties like Schenectady and those in the 
northern and southern tiers. In disti morning papers a*e published, 

retorna come in promptly. But, in places where no morning papers are pub- 
lished, estimates tick profosely over the n b 

Schenectady Count v is on.- ( ,f themosl compact counties in the State, from 
the fact that the city of that name c<>: I >ut three-fourths of the popula- 

tion of the county. There is no morning paper published in the place, and 
there teems to b biied effort to collect full returns that can be used o;- 

election night. In fact, it is not at all uncommon for several days to elapse 
before every district i- reported. The papers ax o wait for its returns 

Under proper arrangements Schenectady oaght to be one of the first counties, 
outside of t he large cities, to make a return of its 

St. Lawrence and the other counties of the northern tier, embracing the 
Adirondack region, are inaccessible by reason of the distances from telegraph 
and telephone offices. It is a difficult locality to collect returns in. When 
the normal vote of this region is disturbed through the nomination of a candi 
date from that part of the State, the conditions make it almost impossible 
to make an estimate of any majority in those counties upon the night of 
election. 

This is a characteristic, but not in so great a degree, of the counties of the 
southern tier, and also of the counties of Greene and Ulster. 

Following the lines of the Erie and Xew York Central systems, in both 
sections, returns are, on account of extraordinary telegraph facilities, easily 
collected. The counties included thus are the first ones to report on election 
night. This section includes the Democratic counties, almost without excep- 
tion, in the State, above the Harlem river. For that reason an apparent 
Democratic majority always decreases, and an apparent Republican majority 
always increases. This fact any one interested can easily verify by taking 
any of the great Xew York dailies on the morning after election, and noting 
the difference between the Democratic or Republican majorities and that of 
the official count

ANALYZING THE VOTE IN FORMER YEARS. 

To the citizen who delights in watching the ebb and flow of Democracy and 
Republicanism in the two practically great political divisions of the State, these 
tables will prove an interesting study. 

While the Southern division is almost absolutely "Democratic, the Northern 
division is nearly its equal in its sturdy Republicanism. 

The Republican tide, that has its source mSt. Lawrence county, sweeps down 
through the State with an irresistible force, overwhelming the few scattering 
Democratic counties in its way until it reaches the Harlem river. Here it is 
met by a terrific flood of Democratic votes from the county of New York, supple- 
mented by the votes of the counties of Richmond, Kings and Queens. This 
counterflood has been of i^uch strength at times that it has driven back the 
Northern vote for Governor since 1879, but the Northern vote has swept away 
the Southern tide in every Presidential election since 1860, with the exceptions 
of 1876 and 1884. The two streams of votes have been at times so nearly equal 
in volume that it has taken the oflicial count to decide the result. 
***** 

It has been the custom for a good many years to divide the State for election 
purposes into two divisions. The North division being all that portion of the 
State north and west of the Harlem river and contains 55 counties. The South- 
ern portion is that part of the State below the Harlem river, and contains 5 
counties. In the election for Governor in 1888 a glance at the table will show 
that while Hill carried all the counties in the Southern division with the excep- 
tion of Suffolk, be was able to wrest from Miller only 9 counties out of 55 in the 
Northern division. 

The tables are so arranged that the majorities of the different candidates may 
be seen at a glance. 

N. B. — The expression " Above or below the Harlem river " is used be- 
cause it) has been so universally adopted. It really means all that portion 
north and west of New York county for the North division, and including New 
York county all that portion south and east of New York county for the South- 
ern part. The 24th Assembly District, that is now part of New York county, 
was annexed a few years ago and was until that time a part of the town of East- 
chester, of tue county of Westchester, and lies above the Harlem river. 
***** 

The tables have been carefully prepared and the figures taken from oflicial 
records. The State has been divided into two divisions, above and below the 
Harlem, for the convenience of the reader. The Democratic counties above and 
below the Harlem have been grouped together and the majorities given by coun- 
ties, with their totals, at the bottom. The Republican counties have been handled 
in the same way. The total vote of each candidate is given and the majorities 
of the candidates by counties when subtracted from eacb other equals in every 
instance, even to a single unit, the difference of the gross vote of the candidates. 

J. Y. Bebby. 



CALCULATION OF THE TOTAL VOTE THAT WILL 
BE CAST FOR GOVERNOR IN 1891, BASED ON THE 
ELECTORAL VOTE CAST IN 1884, AND THE VOTE 
FOR GOVERNOR IN 1385. 

The vote for Governor in 1879 and the Electoral vote of 1880 is not taken 
as a comparison, although they were elections exactly similar to the ones to be 
held in 1^91 and 1892. The vote for Grovernoi immediately preceding that for 
President, for the reason that the election for Governor was not normal, and 
the triangular fight between Kelly and Robinson, who divided the Democratic 
vote, and Cornell, who had the united Republican support, made the election 



Tm: Republican Reference Book. M' j > 

of Cornell a foregone conclusion. Consequently general apathy reigned and a 
light vote, w ;..•■ poUed. Many Democrats stayed awaj from the polls beca 
they believed that their candidate could not be plected, and many Kepubli 
cana neglected to vote because they believed I nrould not be needed 

i.o elect Cornell. 

The operation of the .same i a liirlit vol ])olled fo** 

Governor in 1882. Although Cleveland that year received the unprecedented 
majority of 192,000, lie, yet only received a normal Democratic vote through- 
out the Si.. 

Electoral vote in 1888 1,322.7*8 

1884 1.171,383 

Increase in vote thrown .. .. 151,365 

This was a gain in four years of 12.92 per cent. 

On this basis, if 12.92 per cent, be taken of the vote 
thrown in 1888, it would give an increase between 
1888 and 1892 of 170.399 

Divide 170,899+2 (by2), itwonld give.-. 85,199 

Add to this the vote cast in 1886 1,322,748 



And we will have the probable vote 1,407.947 

tint would have been cast for the «-l«-ctoial ticket, if the election for President 
had taken place In 1890 Instead oi 1888. 

If that supposition be true, and a long experience in election work 
has convinced the writer tnat the ratio of increase between normal elections 
that take place i:i the State of New York, or. in fact, in any State in the 
United States, may safely be taken as a basis upon which to estimate the in- 
crease of votes that may be held under the same conditions in any future 
elections. 

The same system can be taken I falling off 

in a vote. 

The election for President is considered the most important, and electors 
show that they so consider it by coming out in larger n limbers than at any 
other election, and the vote thrown for tin- electoral ticket is l.rirely in ex- 
cess of that cast at any other time. For an example, if the vote cast for 
Secretary of State in 1887 bo compared with the vote for President the following 
year, it will show that there was a differ. nee of 277.37:5. Take also the 
vote in 1889, one year after the presidential election, the vote for Secretary 
of State failed to reach that thrown for the electoral ticket in [1888 bv 
304,014. 

The election fbr Governor is the next in importance to that of the Pres- 
ident, and the vote cast is generally midway between that oast for Secretary 
of State and the one cast for President : 

Electoral vote cast 1884 1,171,383 

Governor »• " 1885 1,026,239 



Decrease in vote cast 145,144 

A falling off of 12.288 per cent. 

On the basis that the election for President had been held in 
1890. and the vote th rown amounted to 1,407,947 

And the vote for this year, 1891, for Governor fell off 12.288 per 
cent, or as much as it did in 1885 from the election of 1884, 
the result would be as follows : 12 .288 per cent, of 1,407,947 

Gives as a decrease between the two votes 173,008 



Subtract decrease, and we have . 1,234,939 

The probable total vote that will be east for Governor in 1891.

NOTES. 



SOME ERRORS IN ELECTION TABLES. 



A a the '• Red Book " or Legislative Annual 

in the electoral tables of the book for 1885. The 

given as 8.."<i7 for ClevHaud. It should have been 

7 B07. Other erroi show d an apparent difference of over 1,200 from 

theprii The true figures were oo arch of the files 

in the othoe of the S;>cretary of Stat.-. The reports of the Secretary of S 

showed the errors to have been made in the print So far as known the 

r pr Lously been pointed out. 

In the Red Book for 1889, the electoral vote' for Clevrland was given as 162, 732. 
The City Record • »rk city (jives the offi iial tigares for Ottendorfer, the 

leading Cl< t. as u;j,GJ6. or I091e-s than state i in the Red Book. ' 

Upon the Sarrison vote the difference between the official canvass published in 
the City Record and the Red Book is much larger. The Ked Book traits Harrison 
wilh 106,922, while the OUy Record L r iv. s William II. Seward, who neaded the 
Harrison ticket, 105,462, or 1,470 leas than given in the Red Book. The vote of the 
several electors for east) did not vary much, in no ease over nve ballots. 



THE STORMY PETREL. 



AS MONTGOMERY GOES SO GOES THE STATE. 

Mueh int. h< a to the rote of Montgomery County. It is regarded as a 

Stormy Petrel among politicians, as indicative of the result iu the whole Stat.' 
from its narrow margin As Hontgom > goes the State, they sav. For 

i back the successful ticket in that county for President has b<en the win- 
ning ticket in the State 1; la as much of a >igu as the famous saying, " As New 
York goes so goes the Union," except that in the latter case there have been 
ptions. In the gubernatorial elections since 187t there has been but one ex- 
ception, that of 1888, Hill, the wiuning gubernatorial candidate, losing the county 
by a narrow majority* 



The basis of comparison on the gubernatorial vote and that of Lieutenant- 
Governor in the campaign this year must necessarily be the elections of 1885. In 
the election of 1 I issues entered the canvass to a large degree through 

the Presidential vote. This makes it useless as a basis for comparison. In 1885 
and in 1879, the canvass was made upon purely State issues ana the same con- 
ditions exist this year. The vote of the State canvass in 1882 is not used for the 
reason that the abnormal conditions which existed in that year's canvass make 
the results useless as a basis of comparison, Cleveland's plurality being 192,000 iu 
round numbers. 



The basis of comparison on the vote of Secretary of State this year must be 
that of the election of 1885, the last year that a full State ticket was in the field. 
The elections of 1887 and 1889 cannot be used, as the conditions of the canvass as 
ted by the gubernatorial vote are not the same. For the same reason the 
basis of comparison on the other subordinate positions on the State ticket must 
be compared with the election of 1885. 



Careless writers for the press, aided by stump speakers of the same charac- 
ter, have caused a gross error to become fixed in the public mind in regard to 
Kings County having defeated Cleveland in 18S8. 

The official returns show the following : 

Cleveland's majoritv in 1884, in Kings 15.729 

u 1888. " 12.455 

Difference between the two majorities 3,274 

Harrison's majority in 1SS8, 14,374. 



210 The Republican kefereece Book. 

If Kings County had returned the saino majority in 1888 as she did in 1884, 
Harrison would have still had 14,374—3,274, or 11,100 in the State. A study of 
this book will show the sections of the State which elected Harrison . 



The average annual rates in the gain of voters in this State on Secretary of 
State, when that office has headed the State ticket, is 27,996. The increase in 
the number of voters in the State on Secretary of State, between 1887 and 1889, 
was 59,592. This gives an annual increase in the number of voters in the State 
2d, 7 96 in off years. 



The increase in the number of voters between 1834 and 1888 was 152.579, 
according to the electoral votes of those years. This shows the average annual 
increase of the voters in the State as 38,145. 



The Board of State canvassers is composed of the following State officers: 
Secretary of State, Comptroller, Treasurer, Attorney-General and State 
Engineer and Surveyor. 



The Constitution of this State, being modeled after the Constitution of the 
United States, provides that the Speaker of Assembly shall be a member of the 
House. The Lieutenant-Governor occupies the same official position in the 
State Senate that the Vice-President of the United States does in the United 
States Senate, and in like manner has no vote except in case of a tie. Neither 
can he debate upon any question pending. 



The Constitution of the State of New York is mandatory that midway 
between decades an enumeration of inhabitants shall be taken for the purpose 
of apportioning the Senate and Assembly districts in the ratio of the population 
of each county to the whole State. Provided, however, that each county, 
except Hamilton, which is annexed to Eulton, shall have at least one Assembly 
district. 



Before the recent change in the system of voting in this State, several 
ballot boxes were used to deposit ballots in. The new laws were adopted in 
1890 and amended in 1891. The plan of a single ballot is exactly similar to 
the one which has been in use for more than thirty-five years in town meetings 
throughout the State, and therefore ought not to be confusing. 



"While the representation in Congress is changed every decade in New 
York State, the number of members in the Legislature is mandatory— 128 
assemblymen and 32 senators. 



In consequence of the canvass on behalf of John Kelly, for Governor, in 
1879, "Democrats had no hope of carrying the State. Their vote should have 
amounted to 840,000. Only 816,000 votes were polled The same thing occurred 
in 1882. Through the lethargy of the "stay-at-homes," a light Republican 
vote was polled. Though Cleveland received an immense plurality, only the 
average Democratic vote was polled. 



The presidential election of 1884 was followed by the gubernatorial election 
of 1885. The conditions in 1891 and 1892 are similar except that the elections 
are reversed in order. The presidential vote in 1884 was 1,166,175, the guber- 
natorial vote of 1885, 1,026,329, showing a falling off of 139,846, or a ratio of 8.34. 
The vote of 1879 cannot be used to compute a ratio, as there was not an average 
vote cast in that year. 



In all political calculations, the ratio increases in the same measure as the 
vote. The annual increase in the vote keeps pace with the increase in popula- 
tion. These facts are frequently neglected in this kind of work. 




JACOB M. PATTERSON. 



Tiii<: Republican Rkferknck Bootf. 211 

Tlie last Attorney-General chosen from the county of New York was 
PranodaC. Barlow, who was elected to that position by t le Republican* in 1871. 



From 1850 to 1876 New York State supplied the nation with no President or 
Vice-President. Since 1876 eitaer the President or the Vice-President has 
always been a New Yorker. 



York State has had four Ministers to England j five to France; three to 

Germany, and two, before that, to Prussia ; three to Austria: three to Spain ; 

bo Russia; one to Italy; throe to Holland; two to China and two to Turkey. 



Alonzo B. Cornell was the last Republican Governor elected in this State; 
hence the ejection table of 1879 is inserted before that of 1-.-2. In the election 
of 1879 the Prohibition vote cast was 20.286; scattering, 6,839. The combined 
Democratic votes for Robinson aud Kelly were 453,356, showing an actual Dem- 
ocratic plurality in that year of 34,759. The Republican candidate, Cornell, 
d by a plurality of 42,777 over Robinson, the candidate receiving the 
jie.vt highest vole. 



Fiv - of the Congressional Districts in the Stat" 1 are somposed of counties 
lea ! in territory with Senatorial Districts of the same number or otherw 

ison they are sometimes confused and transposed. Vou-s given for 
Congr< ismen are often credit' d to State S nators, and vice versa. 

Tmisthe Eighteenth Senal ■ District, which includes the connties of Saratoga, 
Schenectady. Montgomery, Fulton and Hamilton, is the Tw< atieth Cons 
sional District. 

The Fifteenth Senate District (counties of Putnam. Duchess and Columbia) 
is the Twentieth Congn ssional District. 

The Sixteenth Senate District (Rensselaer and Washington) is the Eighteenth 
Congressional Disl 

The Seventeenth Senate District (Albany > is the Nineteenth Congressional 
District. 

The Twenty-fifth Senate District ^Onondaga and Cortlandt) is also the 
Twenty-fifth Congressional District. 



The last year that the Democrats had a majority in both branches of 
Legislatuie was in 1833. In that year the Tammany members would not go into 
the regular Democratic caucus, but voted with the Republicans. 



In 1889 the total vo'e in the whole State for Secretary of State was 1,018,753. 
In the previous year (1888) the total vote was 1,320,109, a falling otf of 30L.356. 
This was notwithstanding the fact that the annual average ratio of increase in 
the number of voters in the State as on pared with fornn r years was 38,145. 



Tli" following indicates the names and t rms of the Governors of New York 
from 1776 to the present time: G or.ge Clinton, 1777 95; John Jay, 1795-1801 ;

Seven State Senators are to be elected from the City of New York this year. 
State Senators are elected in what are usually known as municipal off years. 
The Senators electsd this year will bee ailed upon to take part in the election of a 
United States Senator in 1893. aud also to vote upon the question of reapportion- 
ment. New York City's representation in the upper branch of the last Legisla- 
ture was composed of six Democrats and one Republican. In 1881 and in 18o5 
the delegation was solidly Democratic. In 1883, 18c 7 and 1S89 a Republican 
Senator was secured in New York City. 



212 Tin: Republican Reference Book. 

GOVERNORS. 

George Clinton ran for Governor of New York five times, £and was elected 
every time. 

Daniel D. Tompkins was elected Governor four times in succession, the term 
then being three years, and finally he resigned to become Vice-President. He 
was in office ten years. 

De Witt Clinton was twice elected Governor. A term intervened at which 
he was not a candidate, and he then ran again and was elected for two terms in 
succession. 

William L. Marcy was elected Governor in 1832, defeating Francis Granger. 
At the close of his term he was re-elected, defeating William H. Seward, and at 
the close of his second term he was elected Governor for a third term by a 
majority larger than on either previous occasion. 

Horatio Seymour was nominated for Governor in 1850, but was defeated ; he 
ran in 1852 and was elected; he was a candidate in 1854 and was defeated; he 
ran for the fourth time in 1862 and was elected; he was nominated for the fifth 
time in 1864 and was defeated, and was nominated for the sixth time in 1876, but 
declined. 

John T. Hoffman was three times the candidate of the Democratic party for 
Governor— in 1866, 1868, and 1870. In 1863 and 1870 he was elected, his majority 
being three times ; as large when he ran for the third time as when he ran for the 
second. 

William H. Seward was three times a candidate for Governor; John A. Dix 
three times; Edwin D. Morgan three times; and each of them served two terms 
in the office. 

David B. Hill served out the unexpired term of Grover Cleveland and was 
twice afterwards chosen to fill the office. 



THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. 

In the Fifty-second Congress elected in the fall of 1890, there are 87 Republicans 
and 235 members to be classed as Democrats and Alliance men. The Fii'ty-seconcJ 
Congress will meet in December of this year. Trie term of office will last until 
midnight, March 3, 1894. Thirteen months will have elapsed since the election 
last fall. The term practically opened March 4th last, and from that date sala- 
ries were paid. The framer of the law is unknown. It was enacted before rail- 
roads were open. In those days members of Congress were obliged to travel to 
Washington by stagecoach or on horseback. The journey took many weeks, 
and in some cases months. At the present time, with the aid of railroads, the 
journey from the most distant part of the Union, except Alaska, does not take 
over two weeks. 

The Fifty-third Congress to be elected in 1893 will not meet until December, 
1894, but the electoral college from the different states for the presidential elec- 
tion of 1892 will be based upon the representatives apportioned among the differ- 
ent States for that Congress. The term of that Congress thus commences simul- 
taneously in 1893 with that of the President elected in 1892. The Representatives, 
however, will not take their seats until December, 1893, unless called in special 
session. 

It is a common error that the electoral college of 1892 will be based upon the 
representation in the Fifty-second Congress. The electoral college elected next 
year will be based upon the representation in the Congress to be chosen in 1892, 
which will not take seats until December, 1893, following the inauguration of the 
next President. The error mentioned is one that noone should fall into, for the 
reason that Congressmen are always chosen for the full term, either with the 
presidential electors or midway in the presidential term. The basis upon which 
the electoral college is chosen' is the Congress elected with the President sub- 
sequent to the time the census and apportionment are made. If by any chance 
Congress should not reapportion its members among the States in time to* meet the 
election coming with the President, the change in the electoral representation 
would be deferred until the election of Congress is made upon the previous 
apportionment, and therefore would be based upon the representation in the 
Congress elected midway in the presidential term. 




JOHN W. DWIGHT. 



Tip Ri \ Reference Book. 213 

Un.lerthe apportionment of the Congressional representation each State is 
entitled to as many electors as it has Representatives l- : i Senators in Congress. 
Each State must have at least one Congressman. Under mis rale the States of 
Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota, Montana and Nevada each have one vote in 
Con<i: ctive of population. South Dakota will have two R^presenta- 

Each of these States ha-* two United States Senators, and 
therefore each of them, except South Dakota, will have three electoral votes, 
irrespective of population. South Dakota will have four electoi al votes. Wash- 
ington with its two Congressmen, will have four electoral vote.*. 



The Constitution of the Cnited State? provides that at the end of every 
decade there shall be an enumeration of the people in all the Stat*-- and Terri- 
tories for the purpose of apportioning to the ditferent states the.r respective 
number of .Representatives and Delegates. It is provided that each State shall 
have at least one Representative, and each Territory one Delegate to Congress. 
The Delegates cannot vote, and have a voice only in Iters affscting their own 
Territory. 

In the re-apportionment of Congressmen among the different Stales, it is 
provided thai if any State is allotted more than the representation of ihe pre- 
vious decade and the Legislature of the Stale shall refuse, or on account of 
holding biennial sessions shall be unable to re-apportion the State in Col_ 
■ional Districts according to the re-allotment, the extra Congressman or Con- 
gressmen would be el» uted by the whole State ar large. The allotment by Con- 
gress in 1880 gave New York 34 Reprec instead of 33 allotted in 
1870. General sfocuni, of Brooklyn, was elected Congresaman-at-Large upon this 
rule in 1882 by a plurality of 105,000 over Howard Carroll the Republican can- 



In States where the population isnot disturb <iby immigration, likeKentueky 
or Vermont, the ratio of votes ci amber of inhabitants is one vote to 

rive This rule would not hold good in New York City for the reason that it 
is a great commercial port and easy of access from every portion of the world. 
Not only is there a Large number of foreign commercial agents and visitors 
residing temporarily in the city, but there is an immense body of unnaturalized 
immigrants who have not been here long enough to become citizens. 



NEW YORK CITY. 



At this year's election in Xew York City, 62 officials are to be chosen in 
addition to the State olhcers. The list iucludes 2 Congressmen, 7 State Senators, 
24 Assemblymen, 25 Aldermen. 3 Coroners and aCivil Ju^;. 



Of recent years Westchester County has steadily i its Republican 

vote, and has steadily duninished its Democratic majority. In 1885 the Demo- 
ic majority was 1,400. In 1886 it was cut down to 800. In 18:>7 it went down 
to 250. In 1888 it gave a mixed result. In 1889 was elected a Kepu.blican State 
Senator and three Kepublican Assemblymen. In 1890. McClelland. Dem., carried 
the First Distiiet by only ^51 majority. Ryaa, Dem.. wis elected in the Second 
through the factional li-nt between Rhodes and Carroll. The Third District 
electeel a Republican. 



The total vote of the city of Xew York in the presidential election of 1880, 
was 205,381. In toe Presidential election of 1884 it was 227. Si". In the Presi- 
dential election of 1888 it was 270.783. There is but little doubt that at the 
present ratio of increase of tae city's population, tue total vote iii 1532 will 
exceed 300,000. 



The temperance vote cast in this State last year was S3,000. and the Socialist 
vote was 13,000. Toward the former Xew York City contributed 1,200, and 
toward the latter 5.000. Of the remaining fifty-nine counties of the State the 
Temperance party candidates got more votes than the Socialist party candi- 
dates in fifty-eight. In Kings County the vote was close, temperance vote 
being 1,619, and the Socialist 1.069. 



214 The Republican Reference Book. 

There will be 887 polling places in the city this year, 60 less than last year, 
when there were 947. In 1889 there were 1,04/. 



In 1883 the vote in this city for Secretary of State was : Carr, Hep., 68,580 : 
Maynard. Dein., 91,991; Prohibition, 708, and Greenbacker, 439. The vote of 
the" S. ate stood: Carr, 446,108; Maynard, 427,525; Prohibition, 18,816, and 
Greenback, 7,221. 



It is mandatory for the Board of Police Commissioners in New York City to 
allow any party casting 50,000 votes to have an inspector at each polling place 
in the city limits. Tbe County Democrats last year had no separate State ticket 
in the field andno local candidates for offices to be chosen by the whole city. 
The Police Board therefore allowed the organization no inspectors. In 1886 
Henry George for mayor polled 67,000 votes. In the following year the Labor 
party was allowed inspectors. In 1888 none were appointed under the law. 



ABOVE THE HARLEM. 

Last year's election in North New York was a warm, bitter and closely con- 
tested fight for the office of Commissioner of Street Improvements. The place 
was created by the Legislature of 1 890. The term was for six years and the 
salary was fixed at $5,000. The patronage was considerable, consisting of a full 
force of engineers, clerks, inspectors and laborers. The salaries alone are 
$20,000, while the sum appropriated by the city for the pay and supplies of the 
engineers is $50,000 additional, and the appropriation in the case of roads and 
avenues in the district is $170,000 more. Altogether, the Commissioner has the 
disbursement of aquarter of a million dollars annually. 

Previously all this work had been under the Department of Public Parks. 
Since June 1st the Commissioner of Street Improvements has been in fact another 
Commissioner of Public Works above the Harlem. 

The candidates were Louis F. Haffen and Louis J. Heintz. Haffen was the 
Tammany candidate. Heintz left the Tammany Hall organization and as an 
independent was elected by the aid of the Republicans of the district, thus de- 
feating the plans of the Tammany district leader, Henry D. Purroy. 

In November of this year will occur the election of a justice of the Tenth 
District Court to succeed Judge Rogers, a Purroy man. In the fight of six years 
ago Judge .Rogers, the Union Democratic candidate, received 3,217 votes. 
Anthony Hartman. Irving Hall, got 905 votes, and Matthew P. Breen, now Clerk 
of the Court, had 605. The Republicans had two nominees, one of whom received 
2 548 and the other 1, 557. With harmony the Republicans would have earned 
the district. 

The Civil Judge to be elected has jurisdiction over both wards of the ^wenty- 
fourth Assembly District, the same as Commissioner Heintz. The term of office 
is the same (six years). The salary isjj>6,0o0. 

The two annexed wards were made'part of the city of New Tork by the 
vote of the citizens residing in them, in 1873, but the general tendency of'legis- 
lation since has been to separate them from the rest of the city, politically as 
weil as territorially. The Harlem river divides them. Thus Civil Judges will 
be elected in all the other districts in 1893, but in North New York in 1891. 
Every other district of the city votes for a JS T ow York candidate for Congress. 
North New York elects a Westchester County man, and thus has no part in the 
city fight. More than this, the Twenty -fourth District, though by no means the 
largest in the city, has two Aldermen, one for the Morrisania end and one for 
the Fordliam end. It is the only district not in the jurisdiction of the Depart- 
ment of Public Works, having, under Heintz, its own local Department of Pub- 
lic Works ; and though it furnishes much business to the police courts and has a 
police tribunal of its own, it has no representative on the police beach of this city. 
N"or is this all. The Twenty -fourth District goes to make part of the Eleventh 
Senate District, where a Senator is to be chosen this year, but the Democrats 
within its boundaries have never had the naming of a Senator. In 1879 John B. 
Haskin, a North New York man. ran as a Tammany candidate for Senator, but 
was beaten by a Republican. W. W. Niles, a North New York man, ran in 
1883, and was beaten. Since then all the nominees for Senator, in all the parties, 
have been chosen from the lower end of the district, the Seventeenth having 
held the Senatorship for six years, the Nineteenth district for four.

ELECTION DAY WORKERS. 

In every election district of every assembly district on election day there are 
men for each party who are engaged to hustle hesitating and dilatory voters to 
the polls. It is an old system, and pretty nearly everybody knows what sort of 
a man the election day worker is — whether von call him ward politician or a 
henchman, and whether he is Republican or democrat. He is at the polls to get 
votes for his party candidates by any means that necessity demands and thelaw 
permits. He is a valuable man on that day. 

The election day worker is a roan who knows hosts of the people in his ward. 
According to the size of the election ditttrirt. there may be three, seven, ten, 
twenty or more workers for each party. Eaeh gi-onp is commanded by the 
hustler of greatest experience, widest acquaintances and shrewdest nature. He 
is called the captain. He and the captains of the other election districts are 
responsible to the assembly district leaders. The leader roams through the 
district wherever he thinks best. The underworker and the captain look after 
their own districts. 

There are thousands of men required in the service. On election day they 
must be at their posts by 4 a.m. From that hour until the time when the returns 
are in at night or the next morning this army of politicians has a busy, an ex- 
citing, and a long, arduous experience, £ome of the incidents of tho day are 
disagreeable. Late in the afternoon it may be found that a wealthy citizen has 
failed to vote. Th' captain of the district calls upon the recalcitrant. Quite 
frequently the Voter will be testy and take the call as an impertinence. But the 
captain must do his duty. 

The men who do this work embrace many men who are possessed of wealth 
and position. There are many others who are not wealthy, yet hold posi- 
tions of trust in largo houses. In taking an active part in a political can- 
vass they are pei forming the duty of a citizen. 

Don't forget that they are working for the interests of their party 



FIRST DATS REGISTRATION. 

The first day's registration took place this year only a few days before this 
book went to press. The result for this year, 1891 does not show as large a 
ratio of voters registered to the probable vote to be cast as the corresponding 
day's registration for the election of 1885 to the vote cast in that year. 



PROBABLE VOTE IN NEW YORK CITY THIS YEAR. 

The increase in the number of votes from 1876, when Tilden ran against 
Hayes, ud to 1888, when Cleveland ran against Harrison, was 99,478, or an aver- 
age annual increase of 13,104, or 48.396 per cent. This increase would make the 
vote in 1890 — if the election for President had been held in that year— 296.992. 
The falling off in tho vote for Governor in 1885 from the e] ectoraf ticket in 1884 

was 12.142. That percent, subtracted from 296.992 

or 270,783 multiplied by 12.142, equals 35.936

THE CENSUS FIGURES. 

The summary of population in the State of Kew York as given below was taken 
from Census Bulletin, Tfo. 116 issued October 8, 1891, by Superintendent Robert 
P.Porter. Under the census of 1880 the population returned for the State was 
5,082,871; under the census of 1890 the population returned was 5,997,854, an in- 
crease of 914,982, or 18 per cent, during the decade. 

The following summary shows the population of each county according to the 
censuses of 1890 and 1880, together with the increase or decrease during the 
4*cade;

217 



There has been a very large increase iD urban population in the State during 
the ten years just past. In 1880 there were sixty cities and villages having a 
population of 4,000 or more. These places had an aggregate population of 2,743,- 
632. Under the present census there are eighty-four cities ana villages having 
a population of 4,000 or more, with an aggregate population of 3.805,577. This 
shows an increase of twenty-four in the number of places of this size, while an 
increase in the aggregate population of 1.061,945, or 38.71 per cent., is shown. 
The largest numerical increases in individual cities are found in New York, 
Brooklyn and Buffalo. New York shows an increase of 309.002, or 25.62 per 
cant. ; Brooklyn an increase of 239,680, or 42.30 per cent. ; Buffalo shows an in- 
crease of 100,530, or 64 80 per cent. In only one city or village of this sis© is m 
decrease shown, and that is very slight.

TAKE NOTICE. 

The second day's registration, complete in New York, indicates that a light 
vote will be polled. It shows that only 5,453 more voters were registered this 
year than in 1890, when the total vote cast was only 217,000. 

The difference between the vote registered in the State last year and the 
vote thrown was, in round numbers, 461,000. St. Lawrence County, which regis- 
tered 21,000 voters, polled only some 11,000 votes. Other counties in the State 
showed a similar ratio of difference between the registration and the vote polled. 

As this book goes to press it is known that the nomination of David Boody as

HIT WOULD TOO GIVE 

to. know who will be elected Governor this fall? 
However hopeful you may be, it would be worth 
much to you to be sure. You might work all 
the harder, but assurance of success would make 
work a delight — wouldn't it ? 

HIT WOULD TOO GIVE 

to know that the dearest interests for which you 
plan and toil — such as the support of your family 
and the education of your children — would pros- 
per, whether you lived one year or twenty ? How- 
ever hopeful you may be, it would be worth much 
to you to be sure. You might work all- the 
harder, but assurance of success would make work 
a delight — wouldn't it? 

THE CJIHUGI GOMTTEE 

will instruct you on the first point ; we desire to 
call your attention to 

THE BEST METHOD 

of securing the second. It is by a Policy of Life 
Insurance. You know what such a Policy would 
do for your family in case of your premature 
death, but probably you don't know what the 
Tontine Policies of the JN~ew York Life Insurance 
Company are returning to the living after 15 or 
20 years of insurance. This you can learn by 
sending your address and date of birth to the 
Home Office. The Company is purely Mutual, 
has over One Hundred and Fifteen Million Dollars 
in Assets, and an ample surplus. 

P. S. — Don't wait until after election. 
Some men who are in good health now will be 
dead by that tinxe, and others will be uninsurable.
